What is a Biomedical Engineer?

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>For the past 20 minutes, I have done "extensive" research on the topic of college majors. This is due to the fact that I recently received my PSAT results and am quite happy with them because there has been a substantial increase in the scores since last year. A quick background of myself:</p>

<p>4.0 GPA in my current Junior Year
Top Ten Placement in Mu Alpha Theta Individual Test
224 on PSAT (which i believe qualifies me for NMS) (sophomore year I got a 185 so big jump)
Taking 5 AP's and plan on taking at least 4 more next year
AP Biology and AP Calc AB are my favorite classes so far
I greatly enjoy the sciences and math
I am of Brazilian and Cuban descent. But i myself am from miami</p>

<p>In order to combine my love for science and math, i figured i should explore a college major that incorporates both of the subjects. Must be pretty hard to find a major with both science and math right? Regardless, I stumbled upon the biomedical engineering major. if possible, could anyone who has taken this major, is familiar with this major, or simply wants to help me, please respond with your knowledge about this field? </p>

<p>No, you can just google “colleges that offer biomed engineering program”. There aren’t many though due to it’s relatively new. </p>

<p>Can you pay by the way?</p>

<p>Generally speaking, BME is not a good undergraduate major, as you need at least an MS for most jobs in the field. Moreover, jobs in biomedical engineering tend to go to mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and chemical engineers. You would be better served by majoring in one of these more traditional engineering disciplines.</p>

It’s someone w a degree that is in oversupply and cannot get a job in that discipline w a bachelors degree.</p>

<p>I’m in a traditional engineering business. When we get resumes from biomedical grads, we toss them in the trash. </p>
