Bachelor of Engineering (Genetic) (1 Viewer)

[Dingo2004]

why is the studies of genes under a Science degree???

wouldnt it sound much better if it was under an Engineering degree??

hence Bachelor of Genetic Engineering

sounds 10 times better than a Bachelor of Science (Genes)

perhaps it could be that the study of genes is scientific? it has absolutely nothing to do with engineering- engineering is just the term used to help people understand that scientists are 'building' genes.

oh please, throwing in definitions doesn't win you an argument- ill refuse to ever admit that the art of using different chemical reactions (all that genetic engineering is) constitutes as engineering.

Shouldn't genetics be put under science?

It has nothing to do with engineering even IF it sounds better, wrong field of study.

But you are using scientific knowledge to solve practical problem. You can't say genetics isn't practical...

a technical definition like that doesn't translate to reality.
