Bio medical engineer
Duties and
responsibilities: Biomedical
engineers combine biology, medicine, and engineering and use advanced knowledge
of engineering and science to solve medical and health-related problems.
Biomedical engineers design massive MRI machines along with the microscopic
machines used in surgery. They research and develop prostheses, evaluate the
use of artificial organs, and improve instrumentation used in hospitals and
clinics.
Salary: Those working in medical equipment and supplies manufacturing
saw slightly higher salaries, at $81,950, while those working in scientific
research and development earned $92,870.
Education: A bachelor's degree is the first step for engineers because
most careers in the field require the degree as an entry level requirement.
Biomedical engineers often combine formal training in mechanical and
electronics engineering with focused biomedical training to operate confidently
in the field. Unlike many engineering fields, many entry-level biomedical
engineers hold a master's degree.
Reflection: I think I would like to be a biomedical engineer because I would
like to help people with their walking or helping them live/ survive throughout
life.
