<p>How much physics is found in biomedical engineering?</p>

<p>My local university offers technical area options under the biomedical engineering major in biomedical imaging & instrumentation, cell & biomolecular engineering, and computational biomedical engineering. Is there any difference in level of physics found in each technical area?</p>

<p>I am trying to decide whether or not to take AP Physics B or AP Physics C for my senior year of high school, and I want to base part of the decision on how big a part physics plays into biomedical engineering.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Generally you need to take two semesters of University Physics for most engineering programs. Biomedical Engineering is no different. You should probably take AP Physics C.</p>

<p>Take the AP Physics C AP test if you’re enrolling in engineering. You don’t get anything for AP physics B! My high school didn’t have AP physics C, but I think it’s the same as B, except with a little bit of calculus.</p>
