    ...Thats a question that pops in the mind of a guy or a girl who likes Biology, but is passionate about Engineering.

    Then, Biomedical Engineering is the "Golden Mean" for you! 😁

    I hope this video helps you in deciding if this is the career for you...

    Bio medical Hmmm...
    Some of my good friends are in the field. While some are planning to go. They are doing good. Biomedical branch has the greatest scope if I am not wrong.

    It is too vast and diversified field. Some of it will not require any knowledge of biology. Electro-medical, for example, is mainly electronics including software development and expert systems.
    It is in the area of biomedical devices that engineering and biology have to be integrated. Devices like artificial heart valves, artificial joints and such devices involve considerable mechanical engineering design, testing and production. Devices for heart lung support require a lot of chemical engineering. Materials science is all pervading. One has to work with biologists, clinicians from diverse specialities, veterinarians and engineers of various disciplines.

    However, it is indeed a fascinating field in which one can have the satisfaction of helping human beings directly. Though there is the burden that an improperly designed system can cause harm.

    #-Link-Snipped-# is a very vast field and mostly you have to do research work . You may have to do M.S or phd to increase your employability chances .It is also being considered as among the most promising careers in next decade .

    That's a very complete outline of this amazing field. What areas of biomedical engineering are more close to electronic engineering. Things to do with medical electronic devices. I'm looking for ideas about final year project. Since, I'm currently in Electronic/Electrical Engineering. I'd like to give my degree a twist to medical side by the help of this project. Thank you.

    Pacemakers, defibrillators or retinal imaging systems are fertile areas for portable electro-medical applications. Mobile health and body worn monitors are also useful.
    Mechatronics for robotic limbs or motorized brain conttrolled wheel chairs for the severely handicapped is gaining attention. #-Link-Snipped-#

    Thank you very much indeed. Seems like I've got a lot of search to do before deciding the right one. Thanks again for your suggestions.

    Thank you very much Bioramani for your kind advice.
    Is there anything that can be done using a PIC or Atmel micro-controller to design any biomedical device. All this for final year bachelors degree project with limited budget. Thanks

    The trouble is that I am not an electromedical engineer. Mine is all artificial internal organs. Essentially passive devices like heart valves, blood vessels, and joint prostheses involving bio materials. Let me see if I can post something soon.
