Bio-Medical Engineering

23rd Aug 1999      chaps @tc4hq.cmcltd.com

Hi folks,

I would be interested to know if anyone could suggest me the possibilities
of the future of someone who completes his Bio-Medical Engineering. Afaik,
most of my people seem to be switching onto the computer field. I've heard
that the BME profession does have a good demand in the US. Could someone
give me some inputs as to what a student completing this course should
embark upon? 

Thanks a lot,

Hello,

My name is Setu Shah. I have done my Major in Eletrical Engineering
with minor in Mathematics and Bio-Medical Engineering in US. There
is no demand for Bio-Medical Engineers on Bachelors or Masters level. If
you want to go upto PhD level yes there is some demand for that. You can
find a job in educational institutes or some research hospitals with this
qualifications, and you have to depend a lot on grnants. If you run out of
money in grants there goes your job. It is a tricky situation. On the
other hand computer science is still a very hot field. If you are good in
any INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY field such as networking(UNIX/NT)
Programming(JAVA, VB, C, C++), Database(ORACLE, SYBASE, SQL), Internet, or
Hardware (Routers, Switches, Hubs) you can get a highly paid job easily. 

Regards,

Setu Shah
