Engineering and fabrication

What is the best discipline to study Biomedical Engineering through?

I want to study Biomedical Engineering. My local university does not offer a Biomedical undergrad but rather offers 4 disciplines with a biomedical specialization; chemical engineering - biomedical, civil engineering - biomedical, electrical engineering - biomedical, and mechanical engineering - biomedical. Any suggestions as to what is best? By the way, I feel it is worth mentioning I scored very high on structual visulization on an apptitude test so it has been recommended that I go into a field where I would consistently work in 3 dimensions. Thanks for any help you can offer.

1. Hi,

   Seems like mechanical is best for you... you would be doing fluids, and force, and pressure, and etc...

   You'd be using AutoCAD to design devices. Mechanical is broad enough that it can also encompass a bit of electrical and chemical as well.

   Electrical is very mathematical (as in calculus, circuits, etc). I took a course in bio-electricity, and doing all those proofs makes you wonder how it's biology.

   Chemical is good, but as a biomedical engineer with chem background, you'd be designing chemicals... or checking for biocompatibility etc.. if that's what you like.

   I'd go for mech in your situation.
