The upside of the broadened coursework associated with BME is the versatility one acquires throughout their academic career. Having background experience and education in fields such as medicine, computer coding/programming, assembling circuitry, or failure testing of materials can be only beneficial in the eyes of an employer, especially when it is acquired early on, before one has even chosen their ultimate career path. The downside of pursuing a degree in BME is that the wide variety of engineering content can be burdensome to the point that some students may change fields (BME to mechanical engineering), or even change majors altogether. When I was taking classes such as Electronics, Organic Chemistry, or Calculus C, I felt as though I was the most unfamiliar with the content compared to the rest of the class. This goes to show that BME is a unique approach to an engineering career that is more applicable to those with a desire to learn rather than a student who goes for a degree by only sticking to what they know and never leaving their comfort zone. I essentially believe that BME students undergo more coursework because of the lack of familiarity they possess in any given subject, but down the road they are more likely to come across a more appealing career path due to having a better understanding of their core strengths and weaknesses.
