<p>I was browsing the list of majors offered by Tech and came across this. I'm pretty confused by the whole concept, since I thought chemical engineering was like its own thing and BioMol E is extremely intriguing to me at first glance. I've tried Googling, but nothing of any real help came up.</p>
<p>Just for background, I am not interested in regular engineering at all, as I am terrible with my hands and things to that nature as I am more of an abstract thinker (like I could never build a desk out of some hunks of wood, but I could calculate the physics of it without much of a problem, for a rough example of how I am). This skillset obviously doesn't really lend itself to regular engineering, but BioMol E seems different.</p>
<p>But after looking up what scant information about biomolecular engineering there is on Wikipedia, it seems much more science and hypothetical-based than generic ChemE, a HUGE plus for me and my abilities. If my assumptions are correct, then BioMol E is more about 'designing', as in altering for our advantage, microscopic organisms, proteins, and biochemicals, things to that effect. Not designing like literal structures and objects. Is this assumption right? (Please say yes haha)</p>
<p>And let's say my notions about BioMol E are right, how do you go about majoring in that specifically? Do you major in the generic Chem E + BioMol E, but specialize in one section of it in the actual practice of study? Do you have to be good at regular chemical engineering (I'm also somewhat fuzzy on what exactly it is that Chem E's do anyway)? Is BioMol E a solid field for salary and job opportunities?</p>
