<p>I'm preparing to enter my second semester as a mechanical engineering major. I'm preparing to take Engineering Analysis, Intro to Computer-Aided Design, Fluid Mechanics, Linear Algebra w/ Diff. Equations, Dynamics, Mechanical Behavior, and Electric Circuits. I want to pursue a career in developing biomedical technology, yet the problem is my school does not offer bioengineering, which is why I choose mechanical. However, looking at other universities 4 year plans for bioengineering majors, there is a mixture of biochemistry courses with the core engineering courses. I've been performing very well in my current engineering courses and I have decided to choose a minor in chemistry with an emphasis in biotechnology. The question is whether or not this seems like a reasonable idea due to the lack of the bioengineering major being offered and the minor will be the only opportunity to take courses that can prepare me for my intended career choice. </p>
<p>You may want to consider the specific course work that is of interest to you, regardless of whether it matches an official minor program at your school.</p>
<p>The purpose of the minor is to give me the opportunity to take those courses though.</p>
