<p>I am thinking of double majoring Biomedical engineering and Mechanical engineering. Is there anyone who can share some details and experiences?</p>

<p>Double majoring in engineering is pretty much just as easy as a single major in engineering. There aren’t more requirements; just different requirements. It’s very common. Take a look at the undergrad handbook for sample curricula:</p>

<p>It would be like ME with extra chemistry stuff, imo.</p>
<p>Definitely possible. I know a BME and ECE double major, and while her schedule took some major planning, it was also because she was trying to fill premed requirements. </p>
<p>I’m a dual concentration major (meaning while I’m Civil Engineering, I’m following both Structural and Environmental routes) which is a similar experience, though not as intensive. </p>
<p>In general, your freshman year will stay the same, thought you will need to choose which of the two majors you are more interested in by the end of the year. Talk to your adviser in the first semester, and tell them your plans and ask them to gives you suggestions. If you are lucky, you’re adviser will be someone in one of your interested fields and can give you suggestion about your schedule. If your adviser isn’t that good, you can make an appointment with Dean Connie Simmons who is amazing. You sit down in her office and in about twenty minutes, and she can write out a possible schedule for any combination of things that you want to do.</p>
<p>In general, you can do any engineering double major in four years without overloading. You may not be able to study abroad for a semester or do a minor/certificate in an unrelated field, but its definitely possible with some planning and hard work. You may be doing classes out of the normal order (I’ve known freshman who took classes with seniors, or sophomores who took classes with all juniors) to fulfill all requirements, however.</p>

<p>This is for a CE and BME double major, but it’ll give you an idea kind of a course load you might have each semester with ME and BME.</p>
