Mech E versus BME for career in biotech

[calvin8]

Hi all,

 

I have a B.S. in neuroscience, and am considering a career in biotechnology. I am currently looking for a job in biotech, but would like to go back to school a complete an engineering master's in the next year or so. 
 

This question is particularly addressed to those who ARE in the biotech industry already, but anyone is free to answer: Will a master's in Mech E or a master's in BME serve me better, in terms of preparing me for a job and teaching me skills that biotech industries desire in an employee? 

I am aware that I may not have sufficient background in engineering to go into a master's in engineering. I spoke with an advisor for an M.S. BME program at a local university, and they told me to complete certain deficiencies before applying, so I am taking those courses now. They also said I could complete deficiencies after being accepted as well. 

 

Thanks for your responses.
