Job description
- Biomedical engineers develop devices and procedures that solve medical and health-related problems.
- Many develop and evaluate systems and products such as artificial organs, prosthetics, instruments, medical information systems, and health management and care delivery systems.
- Biomedical engineers also design devices used in medical procedures, imaging systems such as (MRI), and devices for automating insulin injections or controlling body functions.
- Most engineers in this specialty need other engineering experience, such as mechanical or electronics engineering.
- Some specialties within biomedical engineering are biomaterials, biomechanics, medical imaging, rehabilitation engineering, and orthopedic engineering.
Starting Bachelor's Degree Salary
- I found that biomedical engineers with bachelors degree starting salary is 54,000.
- I found that biomedical engimeers with bachelors degree average 60,000 a year.
- I found that there are about 16,000+ employed.
- Biomedical engineers are expected to have employment growth of 72% over the next decade.
- The aging of the population and a growing focus on health issues will drive demand for biomedical engineers higher.
- Because of the growing interest in this field, the number of degrees granted in biomedical engineering has increased greatly.
