<p>basically, which major is tougher in terms of workload?</p>
<p>I'd suggest asking this question on the Johns Hopkins message boards - <a href="http://messageboard.chatuniversity.com/jhuboard/%5B/url%5D">http://messageboard.chatuniversity.com/jhuboard/</a>. A number of students who answer questions on the boards major in BME and/or ChemE and can probably provide some great details.</p>
