Have to choose my degree, I have 2 options
>Bachelor of Engineering, Biomedical. 4 years long. A Masters then requires a further 2 years of study
>Bachelor of Engineering, Mechanical. 4 years long but has an integrated Masters programme which only takes 1 year extra.
Which should I go with. I have heard that Mechanical Engineering is a much more versatile degree and will allow me to work in a variety of positions, whereas a degree with Biomedical Engineering has much more limited career opportunities
Some people have even told me that whereas a Mechanical Engineer can do the work of a Biomed Engineer, a Biomed cannot work in the post of a Mechanical engineer. Is this true?
I'm in Ireland, Galway specifically, so the Biomed and Mechanical courses are virtually identical in content anyway, except the Biomeds do a bit about Biomechanics and Tissue engineering in the form of modules. I'm really just interested in the difference between the two pieces of paper I'll get at the end.
Wat do /sci/?
