Biomedical Engineer
Career Background
1. I chose biomedical engineering as my career because I'm interested in developing technology for medical purposes. Also, I get an opportunity to make a change in people's lives.
2. The significant points of being a biomedical engineer include designing machines that help diagnose or treat patients.
3. The working conditions of a biomedical engineer include working in offices, laboratories, workshops, manufacturing plants, clinics and hospitals. Some local travel may be required if medical equipment is located in various clinics or hospitals. Most biomedical engineers work standard weekday hours. Longer hours may be required to meet deadlines or work with patients at a convenient time.
4.Biomedical engineers must be trained in designing, developing, and handling medical equipment.
5.A college degree is needed to become a biomedical engineer. The required degree is a Bachelors degree in biomedical engineering. Most colleges such as the University of South Carolina and Clemson University offer this degree.
6.The qualifications to be a biomedical engineer include taking classes such as biomedical science/engineering, electrical/electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, and physics. Biomedical engineers should engage in teamwork, have observation skills, and creativity to develop new ideas.
7.Biomedical engineering has a job outlook with a 27% growth rate expectancy by 2020.
8. The salary range is from $52,680-$139,350 annually.
9. Some related occupations include chemists and material scientists, computer hardware engineers, mechanical engineers, medical scientists, pharmacists, physical therapists, and surgeon.
10. You can advance up to a position where you create new medical technology and have patents.
11.Specializations in this field include bioinstrumentation, biomechanics, systems physiology, clinical engineering, and rehabilitation engineering.
12. I have always excelled in my biology and engineering classes. These two classes were my favorite and I wanted to have a career that consisted of both of these subjects. This led to my interest in biomedical engineering.
