Emily, Amarillo AddedMonday, December 1, 2014 at 6:21 PM Will not liking math set me back? Hello! I am interested in becoming a biomedical engineer! I have always loved science, but math not as much. I am an A+ student so it's never a problem but math just doesn't come as easily to me. Should I ne wary of this as I pursue biomedical engineering? Will not liking math set me back and potentially lead me to not liking my job? Also, as a sophomore in high school what are good classes to take (besides the obvious math and science ones) to help me attain a degree in biomedical engineering?

In engineering, we often need to calculate things to better understand the science of a phenomena or design. In college, many of the courses will involve math. However, once you start working, the amount of math you encounter will depend on the type of work you do. Although you may use some simple calculations and statistics for work, you may not need the advanced math in many biomedical engineering fields, especially when you concentrate in biotechnology. Math (including statistics) and science (chemistry and physics) are the most important classes to prepare for a biomedical engineering major. In addition, you may consider taking biology or anything related to health, and computer programming.
