<p>Okay so in a couple years I will most likely be going to Purdue for college. I want to become a biomedical engineer and focus on cell and tissue engineering or something pharmaceutical, but I've been reading around that a bme major isn't very versatile...plus I don't want to get into electrical engineering/medical devices, just the chemical aspect of bme. So should do chemeng undergrad then grad school for bme or something like biochemistry? Thanks for your input</p>
<p>I would do Chem Engineering. I don’t know if this really represents a population, but I was looking at the Yale university page and a lot of people in the ChemE department were doing biology related research (on proteins, biofilm, etc…). I’m most likely going into ChemE in a year and a half if that makes a difference to you (hence why I was looking at the Yale page… I want less of a solely engineering-class curriculum and one that has a little bit of liberal arts in there as well) :D.</p>
<p>EDIT: OMG we’re both HS junior girls :). Female engineers ROCK!</p>
<p>People make specialized fields sound so bad these days. I would do what you feel most passionate about. Purdue is a great school.</p>
<p>:)) Yay female engineers
And yeah I’m leaning towards chemeng, I mean purdue is better for that anyways. But I (we’re) just juniors, there’s still time left…but anyone know if it’s true that biomedical engineer isn’t a “marketable” major…?</p>
<p>generally from what i’ve heard, biomedical is fine if you go on to grad school before pursuing industry.</p>
