Biomedical Engineering or Electrical Engineering?

Question

I'm a high school junior, and i'm really interested in these fields. What are the benefits of these fields, and if possible can I intertwine these fields when i go to college?

Answer 1

I'm not too familiar with biomedical engineering, but I'm guessing you could use it towards medical school, or to go into pharmauticals, chemistry, etc. Electrical engineering is a really broad field - you could go into electrical (power) systems, electronics, communication systems, etc. I say electrical's better, but then again that's what I studied :)

I know a lot of medical students study electrical theory as it applies to the brain/nervous system - maybe you could study that area. Also, I have friends who studied biometrics - it's more biomedical/computer engineering, but a very promising field nonetheless.

Answer 2

you cant intertwine unless you plan on shocking people you are being a doctor for.  electrical isnt that great.  just doing electrical wiring and stuff.  biomedical is better.

Answer 3

Biomedical engg.. is of biology.If you are good in biology You can take it.I think so you cannot interwine these fields
