Biomed Eng: Career Paths, Univ Prep, Applications

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a career in biomedical engineering requires a solid foundation in university-level physics and calculus, despite some apprehension about these subjects. Key preparation includes obtaining a degree in biomedical engineering or a related field, which typically involves coursework in engineering principles, biology, and medical technology. Career options after graduation are diverse, including roles in medical device design, MRI technology, and healthcare innovation. Resources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics provide valuable insights into the profession and its prospects. While location, such as being in Canada, may influence specific opportunities, the core requirements and career paths remain largely consistent across regions.

I was wondering if anyone has advice on pursuing a career in biomedical engineering: what preparation (in university) does it involve? What career options are open to you after you graduate? I'm interested in its applications (working with MRIs for example) and have always been into creating things (go lego!); however, I've never been all too crazy about physics/calculus, things which I understand are vital to engineering. I have been trying to find more info on the subject but have come up with surprisingly little. Any assistance you could give would be deeply appreciated.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
www.bls.gov[/URL] has some valuable info on any profession.

Heres a link to the engineering section. Scroll down and find Biomedical.

Thanks, those links definitely help! I live in Canada, but I'm guessing that location doesn't make a big difference. Thanks again though...guess I have a tough decision to make.
 

Thread 'What major topics are there in arithmetic and what order to learn them?'

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
