" The invisible heroes of the COVID-19 crisis are Biomedical Engineers"

Biomedical engineering is different disciplines with focus on the human body. It's about use mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering, material engineering, biological and computer engineering to design equipment, devices and even medicine that are used in human body. 

Biomedical engineering is  the fastest growing field in the world. Which you're going to deal with healthcare sectors equipment like CT, MRI scan, laryngoscope etc. This field seeks to close the gap between engineering  field and medicine field, combining the design and problem-solving skills of engineering with medical biological sciences. It also helps to advance health care treatment, including diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy.

Clinical engineering involves making equipment recommendations, procurement, routine testing, and preventive maintenance.

Medical  imaging  deals with the  segment of medical devices. This area deals with  directly or indirectly view things not visible in plain sight. This can involve utilizing ultrasound, magnetism, UV, radiology, and other means. Medical imaging equipment are CT(computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging),     PET(positron emission tomography)optical microscopy and electronic microscopy.

Rehabilitation engineering is the systematic application of engineering sciences to design, develop, adapt, test, evaluate, apply, and distribute technological solutions to problems confronted by individuals with disabilities. Functional areas addressed through rehabilitation engineering may include mobility, communications, hearing, vision, and cognition, and activities associated with employment, independent living, education, and integration into the community. There are many divisions in BME field like Tissues engineering, orthopedic implantation etc. 

       Rehabilitation engineering

Biomedical engineering role in hospital is to arrest malfunctioning of biomedical equipment, Repair & Maintenance of biomedical equipment. Maintaining work-order, inventory, preventive maintenance schedule and technician time. Analyses equipment characteristics in clinical environment, ensuring technical and clinical acceptability. BME work in medical sectors, manufacturing and research facilities, universities and extra. Engineers will design surgical robotics tools, implantable medical devices, 3-D printing for organs and other life-saving innovations. Biomedical Engineers need to have a very strong knowledge base in not only Physics and Math, but also Chemistry, Biology and Computer.

Biomedical engineers  guide the doctors and medical staff with the operations of ventilators and biomedical devices at Intensive Care Unit.

Advantages of being a Biomedical Engineer:

It’s cool and interesting and could potentially be quite rewarding. Lots of opportunities for problem-solving. Most Biomedical Engineers receive excellent benefits. These generally include medical insurance, vacation leave, sick leave, dental insurance, and a retirement plan. Other benefits may include vision and life insurance. Biomedical Engineering is the only unique interface between engineering and healthcare.

It involves studying all types of engineering ranging from electronics, computers, mechanical, chemical and nanotechnology. So a person who is interested in research based work profile will be really satisfied with this field of work as you will be expected to research on all these fields of engineering.

You will be closely working with the doctors, and helping them work efficiently.

 Disadvantage of being a Biomedical Engineer:

It’s very broad, so to be competitive in the workplace you need to specialize in something that the industry values, such as electrical or mechanical engineering or computer science. And try as hard as you can to get industry work experience before graduating.

Do not be an inexperienced graduate.

The working world is much different than college and to be competitive in that world, you need to understand how it operates and what it values and what drives it. Then tailor your skill set accordingly
