Can I major in Electrical Engineering and Biology and become a Biomedical engineer? I want to be a Biomedical engineer but the school I am going to only has environmental, electrical, and mechanical.
Yes, it is possible to double major in Electrical Engineering and Biology. However, it may require careful planning and a heavy course load, as these are two distinct and challenging fields of study.
Having a background in both Electrical Engineering and Biology can open up unique career opportunities, such as working in biomedical engineering or biotechnology. It can also give a well-rounded perspective on the intersection of science and technology.
The time it takes to complete a double major can vary, depending on the specific requirements of the school and the student's ability to handle a heavy workload. On average, it may take an extra year or two to complete a double major.
Each school may have different requirements for a double major, but typically, students will need to fulfill the core requirements for both majors, including courses in math, physics, and chemistry. It may also be helpful to have some programming experience for Electrical Engineering courses.
With a background in both Electrical Engineering and Biology, you can pursue careers in a variety of fields, such as biomedical engineering, medical device design, pharmaceuticals, and research. Some common job titles include bioengineer, biomedical engineer, or research scientist.
