Allecksy Added Tuesday, August 29, 2023 at 10:14 AM Is it hard to find jobs with a bioengineering degree? Hi, i'm intersted in studying bioengineering, however it seemed to me that it's harder for them to find jobs as employers prefer mechanical, chemical or electrical engineers. Is that really true? Answers 1 Jenny Boothby, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab Answered Thursday, October 5, 2023 at 11:09 AM Hi Allecksy, First, I'll point out that bioengineering and biomedical engineering can actually be quite different, depending on your institution. Biomedical engineering focuses more on human physiology and medical devices, supplementing with many ...
Maria asked Jenny Boothby, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab Added Wednesday, November 4, 2020 at 1:04 PM Do I have to get a masters in my major field to get a job? I have a question if i do biomedical engineering in four years do i have to do my master in biomedical engineering to start my job right away? So if i want to do chemical engineer masters that would 6 years total? because i don't know, i want to do biomedical engineering then chemical and i don't know if i can open company for example and sell medications because i've done biomedical engineering and i can work in chemistry because i've done chemical engineering that's my question Answers 1 Jenny Boothby, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab Answered Sunday, December 20, 2020 at 3:24 PM Hi! This is a great question, and the answer is different depending on what you would like to do. In general, biomedical engineering is a great foundation for a number of related and/or interdisciplinary engineering paths. However, industry often has ...

Ellie , Salt Lake City, Utah asked Jenny Boothby, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab Added Tuesday, October 25, 2016 at 6:57 PM Majoring in biomedical engineering and transition into pharmacology I am a sophomore at the University of Utah and am majoring in biomedical engineering but hesitant to stay with it. So far I have liked my classes but have not taken too many of the major classes to be sure. I really enjoy math and science a lot and like the idea of applying this knowledge in the health care industry but would not consider myself a "problem solver" or "creative". I am concerned that once I get my degree I won't enjoy my job. I am not sure if I would like research because it ... Answers 1 Jenny Boothby, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab Answered Tuesday, October 25, 2016 at 6:57 PM Hi Ellie! From my experience, industry doesn't know what to do with biomedical engineers just yet, and they don't get funneled into a typical job like other majors. Biomedical engineers go into so many different areas because they have such a breadth of ...

Jessica, Auckland Added Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at 4:38 AM I worried that I will struggle a lot in university Hi, My name is Jessica. I'm currently in year 11, 15 years old. I'm interested in studying engineering later in university but I'm just not sure whether it's the right choice. Frankly, I'm not the best in maths and science. Although I find maths really fun and interesting, I don't have all A's for it like I do with other subjects such as English or Classical Studies. I also do not enjoy science that much, although I have been getting A's for it. I've been trying to figure out what I should ... Answers 1 Jenny Boothby, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab Answered Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at 4:38 AM Hi Jessica! If you are interested in studying engineering, I think you should definitely give it a shot. To help you decide, I suggest that you participate in an engineering program for high school students hosted by a local university. You will get to ...
