Biomedical Engineer

·         Duties and responsibilities: design and develop medical devices such as artificial hearts and kidneys, pacemakers, artificial hips, surgical lasers, automated patient monitors and blood chemistry sensors

·         design and develop engineered therapies (for example, neural-integrative prostheses)

·         adapt computer hardware or software for medical science or health care applications (for example, develop expert systems that assist in diagnosing diseases, medical imaging systems, models of different aspects of human physiology or medical data management)

·         conduct research to test and modify known theories and develop new theories

·         salary:  $79,500 

·         Education: Biomedical engineers often combine formal training in mechanical and electronics engineering with focused biomedical training to operate confidently in the field. Unlike many engineering fields, many entry-level biomedical engineers hold a master's degree.

·          I would not want to be a biomedical engineer because I want to not do so many years of school. I would maybe like 4 years of school and for this job you at least require 6.
