Is biomedical engineering better than software engineering?

Hey there, It can be! if you want it to be. But you're comparing the extremes under the same hood. I must say all biomeds are good software Engineers. But i'm quite unsure about the opposite. read more

Biomedical engineering is still a relatively new field when you compare it to more traditional Engineering disciplines like mechanical and electrical engineering. One can always work in a biomedical-centric field without a biomedical engineering degree. read more

An engineering major with a biomedical engineering minor is a good idea. The major could be computer engineering, mechanical engineering (an excellent choice, by the way) or electrical engineering. Even chemical engineering. There’re overlapping courses in each of these fields - computer engineering vs computer science, for example. read more

Most biomed companies would more likely hire CEs than BMEs out of undergrad because they can get to the actual engineering faster (easier to teach intro bio than half of engineering). So in this case, this is the 'safer bet'. read more
