[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A thread of ChemE students and grads explaining that you don’t need Ochem at all: [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/ChemicalEngineering/comments/ji309v/is_organic_chemistry_course_important_for/[/url]. Ochem has really nothing to do with what an engineer does, at all. Thermodynamics is extremely important, however.[/quote]

That’s all well and good but there are many chemE programs that are more molecular (hopkins) and it is needed. For BME as already stated by multiple people it is strongly encouraged or required even if not premed. [/quote]

They were not required when I went to school and, as PP stated, maybe I am too old and narrow minded. My kid who was ChemE (BS) and BioE (Phd) didn't take those courses either. [/quote]

MIT, CMU, GT and many others list Ochem as required for ChemE and materials or molecular, and  either strongly encouraged or required for BME. Pretty sure DCUM can agree these are top engineering places.

Goodness the whole point is that for SOME types of engineering, specifically those that relate to medicine the most, Ochem is often required as are physics and many other premed reqs hence there is a lot of overlap and doing premed and engineering in 4 yrs is completely feasible and common.

Many of us have students at various great schools currently doing it or we did it ourselves.
