<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'm a BME major contemplating switching over to Chem E. because of what I've heard and seen about BME being too broad of a major.</p>
<p>The only thing holding me back are a few classes in the Chem E. department I don't foresee as being useful for a career in tissue engineering, classes such as process dynamics and control, mass transfer operations and process design. </p>
<p>However, if taking Chem E. would be better for tissue engineering and my chances of getting into a better grad school, I would be willing to take these classes. </p>
<p>I would appreciate some opinions on this and the following:</p>
<p>1) Does Chem E. really give you better knowledge for tissue engineering than BME, considering that Chem E requires some unrelated classes?</p>
<p>2) I've heard about Chem E. being a better major than BME if you want to do biomedical related work in industry. What about graduate schools though? Do they consider Chem E. majors better prepared than BME majors for a graduate degree in BME?</p>
<p>2) My university's Chem E. program is much better ranked and more established than its BME program. Would this mean I'd have a much better chance of getting into a good grad school if I went with Chem E.?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
