Sarah’s Answer

Choosing Biomedical Equipment Engineering as your major could be the perfect fit for you! Many universities offer Bio-Engineering at the undergraduate level, and then allow you to specialize in Biomedical Equipment Engineering at the master's level. However, remember that getting a master's degree isn't a must.

Gaining hands-on experience through internships at medical equipment companies is crucial. This will give you a real-world glimpse into the unexpected aspects of biomedical engineering, making your learning journey even more exciting.

Cory’s Answer

You need to look for internships under facility engineering but not industrial facilities.

I have applied for jobs in previous years for general engineer to work for hospitals and the jobs involve contracting, life systems and medical equipment when you are certified to work on them.

If working for a medical equipment maker is your dream then you should look up companies in your immediate area and see what kind of engineers work for them.

Good Luck

David’s Answer

If your interest is designing medical equipment a foundation built on Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Computer Science is a good starting point. Depending on the type of equipment, Chemical Engineering may be applicable as well.

If your interest is operating medical equipment and analyzing data collected by the equipment, consider something in the Biomechanical/Biomedical engineering field where engineering skills are used to study and understand biological systems. Knowledge gained in this field can be used to improve a person's quality of life by preventing or rehabilitating injuries.

I encourage you to explore internship opportunities either at your school or industry to get a better feel of what is involved in each of the different engineering fields.
