<p>B.S. in biological sciences. Math is up to differential eq and linear algebra. Finished a whole year of calculus based physics. G-chem/O-chem done. Completed some intro classes in biomedical engineering.</p>
<p>What are my chances to become an engineer? I have finished some biomedical engineering classes but don't want to pursue career as a biomedical engineer. I was thinking about becoming a mechanical engineer, chemical engineer, or civil engineer because those fields seem more interesting to me than biomedical does.</p>
<p>How can I do this and where do I go from here?</p>
<p>What are the general courses? If you mean the gen ed then yes. How is what I need to know. I have a 3.9 gpa, will I be competitive enough make it into a grad program or am I not eligible because I haven’t taken many technical classes yet? Or is a 2nd bachelors my only option if I want to enter the profession?</p>
<p>If you want to go Master for another engineering, you should check out the school requirement.Every school It is different. Like me, Im doing ECE but I want to do biomedical engineering for my Master so I have to plan to take some Biomedical courses. </p>
<p>Im not sure if you can do double major in engineering. At my school, they won’t allow. I think It depends on what you want to be. If you like both, you should stick with Biomedical and then go for Master in another field. If you don’t like Biomedical, It not too late to change your major.</p>
<p>I think a second bachelors would be over kill for your situation. Contact engineering masters programs that you would be interested and tell them the courses you already took and ask them what courses they would want you to take before they would consider your application for a masters in engineering program. Take those courses as side courses (there will probably be a semester or 2 worth) but it’ll probably be less then an entire extra BS (2 years probably) alternatively they might accept you as you are but require undergraduate coursework in addition to your masters course work…</p>
<p>I agree that second bachelors is probably not necessary. It seems like chemical engineering is probably your best choice given your current background. If I were you, I’d try to arrange a masters in 3 years. Show initiative… research a school’s undergraduate and graduate curriculum and try to develop an academic plan before applying. Write down each course you plan to take each semester to catch up and transition to graduate classes and a research project. They may not be willing to give you any kind of tuition remittance for the first year, while you’re mainly taking “remedial” undergrad classes. However, you can probably find a school that will agree to let you go to school for free/ give you a stipend once you start taking graduate classes… your undergrad gpa is pretty good.</p>
