Yes, I do agree that biomedical engineering is useful because it is a diverse major, you learn biology, chemistry, mechanics, engineering, etc. Biomedical engineering not one skill set, it’s multiple. Knowing all these skill sets are useful because you can branch out to other careers besides biomedical. However, knowing is not helpful, you need hands on experience because jobs need people to do the worked that is being asked, they need to apply their skills, the science background should be known by everyone. These skills sets are good if you want to teach because all you learn is information that is why there should be practical course, so BME students can be prepared for internship/job opportunity. BME students are prepared academically but not for real world jobs/ internships.
