BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING BY MIA PATLÁN

JOB DESCRIPTION

What is Biological Engineering?

The job accountabilities of Biological Engineers are particularly diverse. Biomedical Engineers use and apply

their knowledge of biology (as well as chemistry, mathematics, computer science and physics) to create

and design products that solve real world problems. These types of engineers also create products that are

used for human needs, such as medical devices, production of pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc.)

REQUIRED TRAINING/SALARYBiological Engineers should have the

basic knowledge of chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics

(High school sciences, and mathematics) including calculus, as well as computer programing and

Engineering design. Going into college, a person who is interested in becoming a biological

engineer will be required to take Bachelors degree programs that

focus on biomedical engineering and biological sciences. These programs are centered around fluid and solid

mechanics, computer programming, circuit design, and biomaterials.

JOB OUTLOOK The job outlook for biological engineers is

outstanding. In fact, the BLS cites biological engineering as the fastest developing of all the

engineering fortes, with a 72% growth rate. 11,600 new biological engineering jobs are

expected by 2018

PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATONSThe Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) is the

professional society for biomedical engineering and bioengineering. Founded in early 1968, the Society now boasts nearly 6,500 members and is growing, rapidly.

BMES serves as the lead society and professional home for biomedical engineering and bioengineering. Our leadership in accreditation, potential licensure, publications, scientific meetings, global programs, and diversity initiatives, as well

as our commitment to ethics, all serve our mission to promote and enhance knowledge and education in

biomedical engineering and bioengineering worldwide and its utilization for human health and well-being.
