Biomedical Engineer

Part 1

http://libary.thinkquest.org/15569/carla.html

Duties and Responsibilities:

Biomedical Engineers use engineering principals

to solve health related and medical problems

they do a lot of research in conjunction with life

scientists, chemist, and medical professionals to

design medical devices like artificial hearts,

peacemakers, dialysis machines, and surgical

lasers. Some conduct research on biological and

other life systems or investigate ways to modernize laboratory and clinical procedures.

Frequently, biomedical engineers supervise

biomedical equipment maintenance technicians,

and advise hospitals and installing new equipment.

Biomedical engineers work in hospitals,

universities, industry, and research laboratories,

Average Salary:$29,000-$600,000

Educational Requirements :

Students should take challenging  science, math,

and electronic courses in high school.

Following high school, biomedical equipment

technicians  complete one to three years of

course work in biomedical equipment

technology, medical-electronics, or biomedical

engineering. Most  programs lead to certification

and/or associated degrees. Some employers will

hire electronics technicians and provide on-

the-job biomedical technology training

Educational Requirements:

Students should take the most challenging

science, math, and English courses available in

high school.                                                

All biomedical engineers have at least a

bachelor’s degree in engineering. Many have

advanced graduate  degrees as well. Courses of

study include a sound background in

mechanical, chemical, or industrial engineering,

and specialized biomedical training. Most

programs last from four to six years and all

states require biomedical engineers to pass

examinations and be licensed.
