As someone who has literally been interested in every major, I know a bit about chemE too.

If you’re doing the B.A. in biochem/chem you will take probably a year less math, usually only through calc 2. Engineers and B.S. degrees usually go through calc 3, a statistics course, and sometimes one more.

Chem/biochem tend to be more theoretical. ChemE is into things like thermodynamics (you’ll probably never take a full course on this as a chem/biochem major). ChemE’rs do a lot of things in the production of chemicals, plastics, and fibers. They are also a lot of times found working for pharmaceutical companies. I’ll add some more later- I’m a bit tired right now.
