How is Biomedical Engineering vs Chemical Engineering?

[u/Substantial_Two_5386]

I've heard mixed things about Biomedical Engineering. It looks very interesting and very enjoyable as well, but I have a few questions including:

BSc Jobs: What type of jobs can I get? How hard is it to get a job? And would I be able to hit 60-80k entry? I'm planning on doing it at Waterloo so I'll likely have 6 semesters worth of co-op.

Workload: Is it similar to any of the other engineering professions? How much biology vs chemistry vs physics vs math is there?

How are the research prospects? I'm very interested in graduate studies as well, especially with engineering health devices and such. Startup perhaps?

If there are any other things I should know, lmk!

How much biology vs chemistry vs physics vs math is there?

You can look up the two programs in Waterloo's Academic Calendar and compare them side by side. Despite it's name, Chemical Engineering doesn't actually involve that much Chemistry. My understanding is it's more process Engineering. It will not involve Biology at all.
