Which Field Involves Most Fields of Science?

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>I basically want to know which field of engineering involves the most fields. I seriously have trouble trying to pick a major, I just love so many forms of science, so I want to know the most “involved” field of engineering. I hear that ChemE has a lot of involvement, using chemistry, biology, physics, and math as well. Are there any other fields similar to ChemE?</p>

<p>I think you might like BME or Mat Sci.</p>

<p>ChemE isn’t really too much “science”. It’s only really concerned with the mass production of chemicals. You’d be working with stuff like mass transfer, thermo and separations.</p>

<p>Mechanical is very broad as well.</p>

<p>Chemical & Biosystems (Agricultural & Biological) Engineering e.g., [Department</a> of Chemical and Biological Engineering](<a href=“http://www.cbe.iastate.edu/]Department”>http://www.cbe.iastate.edu/) ??</p>

<p>or Textile, e.g., [Textile</a> Engineering, Chemistry & Science](<a href=“Wilson College of Textiles”>http://www.tx.ncsu.edu/departments/tecs/) ??</p>

<p>or Ocean Engineering, [Marine</a> Careers :: Ocean Engineering](<a href=“http://www.marinecareers.net/field_oceanengineering.php]Marine”>http://www.marinecareers.net/field_oceanengineering.php) ??</p>

<p>or Materials Science, e.g., [Department</a> of Materials Science & Engineering](<a href=“Materials Science & Engineering | Northwestern Engineering”>http://www.matsci.northwestern.edu/) ??</p>

<p>I’m really interested in Biomedical Engineering, but the only Engineering college I am applying to doesn’t have it. VT has Chemical Engineering, and they also have Materials Science and Engineering. Which of the two do you think is most suited to go to graduate school for Biomedical Engineering?</p>

<p>I found this document that explains VT’s Engineering offerings, and small descriptions on concentrations and stuff: <a href=“http://www.admiss.vt.edu/forms/coe.pdf[/url]”>http://www.admiss.vt.edu/forms/coe.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Generally, biomedical engineering is useless as an undergraduate degree anyway. You really need grad school to get into it.</p>

<p>MSE has almost nothing to do with biology. It’s like 50/50 between Chemistry and Physics. BME is kinda tough, it combines things from Biology, Chemistry, CS, EE and Mech, with none of the rigor of all, and kinda combines them in wierd ways… I wouldn’t recommend it.</p>
