<p>I am planning to do engineering at Cornell. I am having a hard time selecting the major/minor combo. I am torn between Biological/Biomedical combo vs. Computer Science/Biomedical combo.</p>
<p>I realize that my goals are critical in deciding the combo, but I want to leave this open ended for more perspective.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Anyone?? Any thoughts…??</p>
<p>Why don’t you wait 'til you get here before you decide?</p>
<p>You will be required to take both an intro to engineering course as well as a computer science course in your freshmen year.</p>
<p>When I was looking at the freshman eng course something-or-other, it made it seem like you take intro to eng OR comp science. If I already took comp sci in high school (no AP), and am not going into that major, do I have to take it?</p>
<p>Comp Sci is one of the graduation requirements. So yes you would have to take it. You could take intro to eng and comp sci in the same semester.</p>
<p>You are required to take a 3 credit Intro to Programming Course (Matlab or Java) as well as afterwards a 1 credit transition course (from Matlab to Java or vice a versa).</p>
<p>If you get AP Comp Sci credit, you get Intro Java Programming Credit and must still take the Transition to matlab course.</p>
<p>You are required to take both intro to eng AND comp sci, you can just pick which you would like to do which semester.</p>
