<p>Okay -</p>
<p>I'm heading off to college in 3 weeks. In these next few weeks I have to finalize my schedule - which incidently finalizes my major pretty much.</p>
<p>I'm going into engineering. I'm definitely majoring in Biomedical engineering - but my university forces you to double major BME with some other "traditional" engineering major. Initially, I wanted to do Mechanical + Biomed; but now I'm not so sure.</p>
<p>I'm interesting in chemistry and physics - but I like physics more because, to me, it seems more practical. It seems as though in the earlier classes I'll have more "hands on" experience instead of just learning the theory (like Chem E).</p>
<p>The majors I'm torn between are Chemical, Mechanical and Materials Science and engineering. I really love physics, and want to learn more advanced physics - but I'd also like to learn chemistry and the chemical workings of things. Can you guys give me a run down of each major, what it entails and what you guys think the best way to go is?</p>
<p>Also, I'm not EXACTLY sure what Materials Science and engineering entails. Can someone explain this too?</p>
