<p>HEY GUYS.</p>
<p>I was just thinking about double majoring, and I know some schools allow double majoring in 2 engineerings (like BU offers biomed with about every other kind of engineering) and I was wondering if anybody knows whether it's possible to double major in ELECTRICAL and BIOMEDICAL engineering? Like arrange it such that some of my credits can count for both and stuff and still graduate in 4 years?</p>
<p>I have no idea cause everyone on here says a mix of can and cannot be done, and if some schools offer it as a double major track then I guess in certain cases it's possible.</p>
<p>Anybody from engineering care to comment? :)</p>
<p>THANKS GUYS :D</p>
<p>I don’t think it can be done at TAMU. I’m surprised it can be done anywhere that offers a quality engineering degree. There’s just not enough overlap on the curriculum. The freshman curriculum is about the same for both – lots of core courses, plus PHYS, ENGR, and MATH that work for both degree plans. But the Upper Level curriculum (for soph, junior, and senior years) is too divergent and too demanding in each major. </p>
<p>I have included links to the upper level curriculum in each major. Scroll down each page and you’ll see a curriculum plan for each degree. As you can see, each degree is already demanding in terms of credit hours required each semester. I didn’t do the math, but it seems that you would have to take about 25-32 credit hours per semester to graduate in 4 years. That’s not going to happen. Most college kids take between 12 and 19 hours per semester throughout their undergraduate education.</p>

<p>Coolios. Thanks for the opinion simplelife ! :)</p>
<p>My advice would be to just major in EE, and then go to graduate school in Biomedical Engineering assuming that the areas of BME that interest you are most related to EE and not Mechanical. If you pick up a BME related undergrad research position and try to take a few extra electives related to BME, then you would set yourself up fairly well I would assume.</p>
