<p>What is a better choice for a major, EE/CE or ChemE for me if i have a better math background than a science background? Ive gotten A's thru high school with math, but like B+'s and some A's in my sciences. Also wat are my chances at some better engineering schools?</p>
<p>No one can answer that for you. I would encourage you to look around and find engineers in each field. I'll always be a bit biased towards ME and EE since they are more broad and offer a greater number of jobs.</p>
<p>i heard Chem E is pretty broad too....</p>
<p>its called one of the most versatile eng. majors..i guess.</p>
<p>chem E = universal engineer</p>
<p>so if i am still unsure, going with ChemE with my background will be fine? like my chances wont be lowered at my schools with the grades i got?</p>
<p>my nieghbor went to Berkeley and earned his Chem E BS. now he works at Intel and does nothing related to Chem E. he does more of industrial engineering type job. he said he forgot alot of his Chem E stuff. but it got him through the door.</p>
<p>I'd say ME = universal engineer. Chemical Engineering is not as broad in my opinion.</p>

<p>If your math is better than your science, then I would actually say to go with CS, especially theoretical CS. Theoretical Cs is basically just a form of math.</p>

<p>"Chemical engineers are now engaged in the development and production of a diverse range of products, as well as in commodity and specialty chemicals. These products include high performance materials needed for aerospace, automotive, biomedical, electronic, environmental and military applications. Examples include ultra-strong fibers, fabrics, adhesives and composites for vehicles, bio-compatible materials for implants and prosthetics, gels for medical applications, pharmaceuticals, and films with special dielectric, optical or spectroscopic properties for opto-electronic devices. Additionally, chemical engineering is often intertwined with biology and biomedical engineering. Many chemical engineers work on biological projects such as understanding biopolymers (proteins) and mapping the human genome."</p>
<p>Chemical engineering is <em>broad</em>. Yes. Mechanical engineering is <em>broader</em>. Gotta throw my chips in with Dr Reynolds here. Mechanical engineers exist wherever there are machines.</p>
<p>And anyhow, that's not really what this thread is about.</p>
<p>Getting some B's in high school isn't going to ruin your chances anywhere. If you're able to hack it in the most rigorous courses your school offers and if you're prepared for a real mental workout in college, you'll do fine in engineering. Just gotta decide which one, and that's pretty much up to you! Like Dr. Reynolds said, talk to some engineers in the fields you're interested in and see which field sounds more interesting to you. Good luck!</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
<p>I'd say ME & EE are the broadest.</p>
<p>i'd say </p>
<p>M E, E E, and Chem E are the broadest.</p>
<p>If you keep picking at it, it'll never heal</p>
