<p>Do minors have any effect? Would a BioE major with a minor in EECS be more employable than a BioE major without one, or would a EECS major not be able to get a BioE job if he/she didn't have a BioE minor?</p>
<p>(This is also assuming you are interested in the subject you are minoring in)</p>
<p>The title of the minor won’t really help much with employment from what I’ve heard. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take more classes because the fact that you have experience in both fields will help. For example, an EECS major that is well-versed in Biology and Chemistry could probably do some bioengineering jobs, while an BioE with enough programming experience should be able to code the AI of a biomedical-nano robot.</p>
<p>So in short, the minor itself doesn’t exactly increase your employment chances directly, so don’t worry if you can’t finish the minor. Just take the classes you want/need/think will apply to the field of engineering you ultimately want to pursue.</p>
<p>^thanks for the tip! So if I did want to go into neural engineering or perhaps programming the AI for biomed nano-bots, would be it be ok to stay in BioE and get a minor in EECS, or should I switch into EECS and get a minor in BioE? I like CS a lot though, and I won’t be sure if I like EE until I’ve taken Physics 7B (Second semster Freshmen year, so next semester) and EE20N,EE40 which are part of the sophomore year of my Imaging track in BioE</p>
<p>EECS all around will give you more options, [five to be exact, haha] but if you don’t want to deal with the bureaucracy of switching, then I wouldn’t bother. If you’re FOR SURE going to do something in biomedical engineering, getting the EECS minor while in BioE will suffice. However, if you feel like Bio might not end up being your thing, switch to EECS because there are so few restrictions on the major. You can pretty much build whatever degree you want in EECS because in order to graduate, there aren’t that many classes required. I could finish my degree in 7 semesters taking three technicals a year but I’m going to probably try and take another semester to get three more classes worth of experience. In your case, those three classes could be Chem, Bio, or BioEngineering classes.</p>
<p>^I see, thank you so much for all your info and advice!</p>
<p>well it depends…how long were the miners stuck in the coal mine</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>^lol 10char</p>
<p>in response to OP’s question: no, because we have laws against employing minors</p>
<p>^lol I love puns</p>
