Career questions tagged biomedical-engineering
How versatile and stable are the chemical engineering vs. bioengineering fields, and where do the two overlap??
I'm a student at Oregon State University currently majoring in Bioengineering. I'm considering switching to Chemical Engineering. So far, I have taken on one internship doing biochemistry research and I'm a licensed Pharm Tech. I know that I'm interested in Biochemistry and Chemistry, and I want to know which major is most applicable to pharmaceuticals or has the potential to expand my options should I find out I'm interested in non-pharma things. If you can, please also comment on any potential salary differences. Thank you for your help!
Is it a smart idea to major in mechanical engineering and minor in biomedical engineering?
I want to focus more on biomedical engineering but i feel like pairing it with mechanical engineering will open more job opportunities for me.
How do I choose the right major?
How do I know if biomedical engineering is the right major for me? I don't really like the concept but i think it'll be a cool major if I focus on the engineering part solely.
What is biomedical engineering and what jobs are likely for me to get?
I'm looking into studying biomedical engineering and pharmacology.
What is it like to pursue Biomedical Sciences?
I have taken the advice from my last question on finding a career best suited for me. As I researched different career paths, I stumbled upon Biomedical Sciences, which piqued my interest. So, if you have any information on this subject or ways to experience it myself, it would be greatly appreciated!

What is the difference between a biomedical engineer or a biomedical physicist?
I am high school student who heard there was high demand in people to calibrate medical machines. I was told it required a biomedical physicist degree but I also see there is an option for a biomedical engineer too. I am confused on which I would need to go into or maybe I just need a certificate and no college degree.
What are the necessities for entering college?
What are the criterias for entering and studying biomedical engineering in college?
Which UCs in California have good medical connections to companies like pharmaceutical providers focused on using advanced technology?
I am an 11th grader in high school, and my focus in the job market is working in the medical field with the integration of advancing technology after graduating college. In college, I want to major in biotech. After graduating from four years of college, I would like to go to medical school for four years, but becoming a specialized doctor would take me two more years in medical school. In total, I will spend 10 years studying to prepare the right knowledge and understanding in the medical field. I would like to know anything about the medical field in pharmaceuticals so that I can prepare myself on what to do and what not to do before getting myself into this for 10 years. My skills are having a positive mindset to learn something new every day and an understanding of complex vocabulary in works of literature and songs.
How can I find relevant internship opportunities for my intended field of biomedical engineering?
I'm a current high school junior looking to find more relevant opportunities to biomedical engineering including volunteering + internships in the school year and the summer.
Does Physics play a major role in Biomedical engineering? And are Biomedical science and Biomedical engineering the same thing?
Does Physics play a major role in Biomedical engineering and do I have to take up the course if Im studying Biomedical engineering in the University? And are Biomedical science and Biomedical engineering the same thing?
What courses/AP classes will I take if I want to study Biomedical engineering?
What are the classes/courses that would be taken by someone who is studying Biomedical engineering in the university??
What is biomedical engineering all about? and do you think it is a job relevant in our ever-growing technology based world? I am interested in it because I really like both Biology and Chemistry. I am an average grade student in grade 12.

How do I get started in the R&D of prosthetics? What job will help me get there?
I am a junior in college looking to apply for2025 summer internships/jobs in orthopedic prosthetics.
I have a lot of questions... I want to do biomedical engineering as my job. Does having CS experience help with the job Can I work in a hospital? What courses or prior knowledge should I have before i major in BME? Is it possible to shadow as a bme? What college is affordable, but still amazing? What college did you go to (if you are a BME?) This is a lot, but thanks!?
10th grade, NJ area but dont mind going far to go to college. I have cs experience!
Can I work in the biotech/biomedical industry after graduating with a masters in electronics??
I am about to start my master's in electronics, but I have always been interested in biology as well. (Choosing engineering was a personal choice). Is there any way I can contribute to working in the biotech industry? Are electronic engineers needed? What fields should I be targeting? What should be my focus during my master's?
Do I need a "spike" in my interests for college applications?
I see a lot of advice that students should have a spike in their applications to demonstrate interests and clear focus/passion. If they want to go into computer science they should do mainly computer science related classes and extracurriculars. I want to go into biomedical engineering so I am in engineering club, doctors without borders, and science honor society. However, I am also interested in public speaking so I do mock trial, TV production, and speech and debate, but I don't plan on pursuing that as my major in college. Will this negatively affect my college applications? If it does, what should I do from here?
How can I find internships in STEM? (remote or on-site)
Hi, I am currently a rising senior in high school and wish to find an internship to do over the summer (and possibly into the school year). I wish to get an internship in STEM as I wish to pursue a future career in it. I am unsure where to look or how to obtain one.
