What are the opportunities for advancement for a biomedical engineer?
Advancement usually depends on education and experience. Biomedical engineers who work in research can become project leaders or administrators of entire research programs. They can also become managers in hospitals or manufacturing companies. Some form their own companies.
Can I become a surgeon after biomedical engineering?
Yes. Most biomedical engineering majors will need to take all the necessary courses to be eligible for medical school application and to be competent enough for success on the MCAT.
What benefits do biomedical engineers get?
Most Biomedical Engineers receive excellent benefits. These generally include medical insurance, vacation leave, sick leave, dental insurance, and a retirement plan. Other benefits may include vision and life insurance.
What do you study to become a biomedical engineer?
In order to become a Biomedical Engineer, you will need to study an undergraduate degree in a relevant field, such as: 1 Biomedical Science or Engineering 2 Electrical or Electronic Engineering 3 Mechanical Engineering 4 Physics
Where can I get a summer internship for Biomedical Engineering?
In the US, for example, the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering runs a Biomedical Engineering Summer Internship Program (BESIP). How much can you earn as a Biomedical Engineer?
Why do so many biomedical engineering programs fail students?
Too many biomedical engineering programs are, as she states, scattered. They are engineering lightweight, almost pandering to the students’ wants. Unfortunately, those don’t usually meet the students’ true needs, to be adequately prepared for industry.
Is Biomedical Engineering a good major for a junior individual contributor?
Many who are excited about going into medical device or other life science companies go after a biomedical engineering degree. It gives you a little bit of everything, but it doesn’t give you enough of any one discipline to really go in as a junior individual contributor.
