<p>Mechanical, Chemical others? Son is interested in BME, but one of his schools does not have it as a major but as a minor. That said, which major would be the closest to BME of these two.</p>
<p>It’s impossible to answer that question. It depends on what the focus in bme is on. </p>
<p>For several people, EE would be the closest. MechE for others. And ChemE for another group.</p>
<p>I did bme research one summer (before I realized EE was a far better choice as I kind of hate biology…), and it was very MechE focused stem-cell research. I also know people who do BME research that’s very EE, compsci, chemE, etc. focused.</p>
