BioEngineering vs BioMedical Engineering

<p>What are the differences between these two careers? Also, which career is more exciting in terms of research and development and requires a stronger knowledge of math and science?</p>

<p>The primary difference is that BioMedical Engineering produces a few more points on the Scrabble board. Other than that they are pretty much the same.</p>

<p>I'd be careful judging too much based on the name alone. Mostly they mean similar things, but sometimes Bioengineering indicates a bioinformatics or agricultural focus, etc. The best way to tell is to look at the research interests of the faculty and the courses offered at a particular university. Even within BME, there are big differences between departments at different schools. The same goes for careers, the names are often interchangable.</p>

<p>pretty much the same thing. i think bioengineering is a more specific engineering discipline under BME. i know that the university of pitt has bioengineering and that it has 3 specific concentrations and you choose one.</p>
