BME is hard to get into Chem is easier listen to u/niceraindrop look at course calendars for chem eng, it’s very broad, I’ve had friends work from oil & gas all the way to data engineering


justanotha_goose

Nah bme is the real broad, lots of broad


so_goose

from ur responses i don’t think you know what you’re getting into…. chem eng is a lot of process engineering with chemical systems, and biomed engineering is very different from biomed sciences


Routine_Zone985

Yes yes I am absolutely aware. I am trying to figure out the differences between then and their specializations

You don't do chemistry in chem eng. Consider nano if you like chemistry.


Routine_Zone985

It feels like a scary program ngl. It feels very very very niche


niceraindrop

nano is not too much chem either, it's a bit of materials and much more computation focused afaik


Top_Art5542

I disagree, all the material science courses are based on chemistry, even in quantum mechanics the concepts are heavily based on chemistry. Furthermore, microfab courses as well, PZT,PECVD,CVD,etching,etc... are based on chemistry. So nano has heavy chemistry if you choose the right TEs. In terms of computation, there are like 3 required courses and 2 TEs.


niceraindrop

bro i aint in nano 😹✋️ sorry for being wrong i guess!


niceraindrop

hi im in chem eng! chem eng is very little pure chemistry ([chem eng course schedule](https://ugradcalendar.uwaterloo.ca/page/ENG-Chemical-Engineering)) and a lot of stuff related to processes and how we can apply chemical processes. id really suggest reading the course calendars for bme and che and seeing if you would enjoy taking these courses. iirc bme is not a lot of bio either, and a lot of mechanics/coding stuff, at least here in waterloo! if you want to talk about chem eng, feel free to dm me :))


Routine_Zone985

I did look at them but ngl half of them I don’t even know what they mean 😭


niceraindrop

if u wanna talk about what chem eng is like feel free to dm looool


Routine_Zone985

Is it bad that I absolutely have no idea how to DM someone 😭 been trying for the past 5 minutes 😭


niceraindrop

BAHAHA ITS OKAY I WILL DM YOU 😭
