Hello everyone. I’m undecided whether to take up Chemical Engineering with a focus on Biology (ex. Chem-BioMol) or Biotechnology.
-
How are they similar and how are they different? (Both in what is learned in school and what is done in the real world.)
-
(Though interested in graduates studies and beyond, I ask this for undergraduate level studies.) What are the common jobs for ChemE? For Biotech?
-
For ChemE, how is the job market in biology fields? I heard that there are more openings in the oil and gas, and manufacturing industries.
-
How does taking graduate degrees affect job responsibilities in each? (Like, what kind of work is done/can be done with a graduate degree vs. an undergraduate.)
I’m not sure which specific field I want to go into yet, but for sure something related to medicine. I also want a degree that will allow me to continually grow and be challenged.
Other input regarding these fields are welcomed too! Thanks in advance for your help!
