Dennis, Borger asked Stacey DelVecchio, Caterpillar Inc AddedWednesday, October 28, 2015 at 7:14 PM I'm afraid I may not do well Hello my name is Dennis, I am very happy I stumbled upon one of the answers you had previously answered because it's very similar to what I had wondered. I was very interested in becoming a Bio-medical engineer but the university I'm planning on going to does not offer that as a major so now I'm leaning towards becoming a chemical engineer but although I do enjoy math it is not my strongest subject, and I'm afraid I will not do well which is very discouraging to me. Was this an issue for you? did you find the math courses really difficult? and although the University doesn't offer Bio Medical engineering as a major it does offer a Chemical Engineer with a minor in bio engineering degree, is that a good deal? and last but not least would it be better to have a Chemical Engineering with Bioengineering minor degree or a Biochemistry degree if I originally wanted to major as a Bio Medical engineer? Thank you for taking your time to read my case and I hope to hear from you soon!

First, math was probably my favorite, so I'm probably not a good one to ask. I did enjoy the math classes. But after the first 1.5 years, I don't think you get into the math as much. I have to say that I hear this a lot. People think they aren't good enough at math to become an engineer. Let me tell you...you don't have to be a math whiz to be an engineer. You just have to get through the classes. I like the idea of the chemical engineering degree with the minor in bio engineering. This will give you lots and lots of flexibility. If you really want to be a bio medical engineer...please please please....get the engineering degree. With a biochemistry degree, you will end up doing more lab work. And plus there's the fact that you'll have an easier time getting a job. If at all possible, do some interns as soon as you can, just to make sure the the bio medical engineering is what you want. Hope this helps.
