<p>I know Engineering is math heavy, but I wanted to know how manageable is it for a student who isn't necessarily a math wiz? I want to major in BME and I know a lot of the courses are going to require math. I'm good at math, but certainly not great. Many kids in my HS seem to just pick up math concepts quicker, but it takes a little longer for me to grab a hold of it. Even though I'm not the best at math I do enjoy doing it and working until I understand it. How hard will BME be for someone who just has a good, not great, math background?</p>
<p>You should be fine, as long as you study and work hard. You might have to work a bit harder than some of the other students who never seem to study but get straight A's.</p>
<p>You dont have to be a genius to become an engineer. I certainly am not, and neither were the majority of the people I was at school with. As long as you are "reasonably" smart and work hard, you should be fine.</p>
<p>To sum up: emphasis on "work hard"</p>
<p>Thanks, good to hear that lol. Any other tips for students majoring in BME who aren't math geniuses from anyone?</p>
<p>You don't have to be a math wiz (or a wiz at anything) to be successful in engineering. If you're willing to work hard and study hard then you will be fine.</p>
<p>Glad to hear that. Do you guys know how much math is involved in BME?</p>
<p>Same as other engineering majors. You'll take Calc1,2,3, differential equations, linear algebra, and probs & stats. I'm not sure if BME takes anything else.</p>
<p>I think BME might take less math than some other majors, like EE or CHE, at most schools because its a more science oriented program than other engineering disciplines. However, having said that, at the bare minimuim expect to complete CalI,II,III & Diff Equ.</p>
<p>My BME program also had an "engineering math" course that came after DiffEq, and was required for BME along with the rest of the engineering majors. (This was acutally one of the best and most useful courses I've taken in undergrad or grad school!) As far as I know, ChE, CE, ME, CoE had the same math requirements... possibly more for EE. With EE, its not necessarily more "math" classes, but that the higher level courses in the major are more math intensive, or introduce more complex concepts.</p>
