Nuala AddedSunday, September 11, 2016 at 10:36 AM Employers hire chemical/electrical engineers over biomedical engineers, is this true? Hi! I've been interested in biomedical engineering for a while everything about it intrigues me, when I finish my degree I want to be involved in the development of tissues and medical devices etc! However I have been doing more research and I've seen that a biomedical engineering degree seems to be useless because employers in the industry tend to hire chemical/electrical engineers over biomedical. Is this true? Would I be better doing an undergrad in electrical and then a masters in biomedical? Or what would be my best option in your opinion? I will be studying in Ireland so I don't think there's such thing as majors and minors just typical undergrad degree and then a masters. Thank you so so much for all the help I really appreciate it!

The most important thing in my mind as an employer are what skills do you have (eg. programming) and what projects have you done (eg. a class project designing a medical device). You need to make those skills and experiences clear in your resume. Also, any work experience or internships will count for a lot more than the name of your degree. So if you love the biomedical engineering students, teachers, and classes then that's the degree you should get! Good luck! Cori
