Bioengineering or Electrical Engineering with BME Emphasis

<p>Hi guys! I want to hear your opinions about Bioengineering and Electrical Engineering with Biomedical Engineering option. I got some questions for you guys.</p>

<p>1) What are the pros and cons of each one?</p>

<p>I am newly admitted to Electrical Engineering and wanting to switch out to Bioengineering. '</p>

<p>2) How hard would that be? Is it possible to do that at orientation?</p>

<p>Just a heads-up, in case it matters–if you take EE with the BME option, the BME part doesn’t show up on your diploma.</p>

<p>Also, you might want to look at this: [Change</a> of Major — UCLA Engineering Office of Academic and Student Affairs](<a href=“http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/change-of-major]Change”>http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/change-of-major)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>So I have to actually take some classes following my EE schedule first and meet those requirements? Would I be behind for BE? </p>

<p>Just making sure, I cannot change it during orientation because I haven’t took any classes at UCLA yet right?</p>

<p>You could plan it out for your first few semesters and see what overlaps between the two and then try to switch when you get the GPA and requirements down.</p>

<p>And yup, I don’t think they can allow you two immediately switch to BME in orientation since they’re asking for a prior grades. I suggest you talk to the counselors at orientation, I hear they address this stuff then.</p>

<p>Ic ic… One more question</p>

<p>In terms of the materials you learn in each subject, what are the differences and similiarities?</p>

<p>They’re all in the main website I linked you earlier.</p>
