Biomedical or electrical

<p>I am seriously considering doing electrical engineering or biomedical engineering with a concetration in bioelectric. I like the idea of designing medically related equipment but I have read that biomedical is to specific. Would an electrical degree be better for getting a job in that field or biomedical??</p>

<p>My Son is going through the same issues and he has finally settled on EE since none of the Bioengineering programs go into depth in electrical engineering. I suggest you take
EE and tack on some courses from the Bio med program as opposed to just doing Bio-med engineering.</p>

<p>I am in the same dilemma, but I am leaning towards BME.</p>

<p>I’m going to Michigan and they allow a concentration in bioelectric, which I think is almost the same as minoring in EE. What do you think?</p>

<p>From what I heard from the biomedical engineer undergraduate student @ georgia tech, biomedical is like learning little bit of everything in undergraduate. Mechanical, electrical engineering but not too in depth plus biology and chemistry. If you truly want to work in biomedical engineer field, you must complete least master program. If not, go on to law school dealing with medical equipment patent or medical school (medical school look for fresh blood who are not typical biology major) are better options with just B.S. I know someone who graduate from georgia tech biomedical engineer in undergraduate with highest honor but he got work none related to his field cause all the job required least master. About Electrical engineer is better background before going into biomedical engineer for master is in debate. The area in biomedical dealing with RF(radio frequency) and MRI equipment, its important that student have good knowledge of electromagnetic wave propagate through the human body and know how magnetic field from superconductor from MRI and process data from the reaction from body… I believe some of the area require more electrical engineer area but like develop of cell tissue for burn body and other area related to more toward biology and chemistry, biomedical or chemical engineer is more suitable.</p>
