Duties and responsibilities: Biomedical engineers work closely with life scientists, chemists and medical professionals (physicians, nurses, therapists and technicians) on the engineering aspects of biological systems.
Duties and responsibilities vary from one position to another but, in general, biomedical engineers:
-
design and develop medical devices such as artificial hearts and kidneys, pacemakers, artificial hips, surgical lasers, automated patient monitors and blood chemistry sensors
-
design and develop engineered therapies (for example, neural-integrative prostheses)
-
adapt computer hardware or software for medical science or health care applications (for example, develop expert systems that assist in diagnosing diseases, medical imaging systems, models of different aspects of human physiology or medical data management)
-
conduct research to test and modify known theories and develop new theories
-
ensure the safety of equipment used for diagnosis, treatment and monitoring
-
investigate medical equipment failures and provide advice about the purchase and installation of new equipment
-
develop and evaluate quantitative models of biological processes and systems
-
apply engineering methods to answer basic questions about how the body works
-
contribute to patient assessments
-
prepare and present reports for health professionals and the public
-
supervise and train technologists and technicians.
salary: $51,490 per year
Education: Prospective bio medical engineering students should take high school sciences courses such as chemistry physics and biology. they should also take math courses. including calculus. courses in drafting or mechanical drawing and computer programs are also useful. you have to major on a bio-medical course in college and knowledge in biology mathematics, physics, English language, and engineering and technology.
i wouldn't like being a bio medical engineer because its associated with a lot of science and i don't like science.
