Biological science: Biological scientists can work in the fields of medicine, agriculture, environment and food. Employment opportunities include research institutions, universities, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies and government agencies. With the growth of population and the increasingly serious environmental problems, the demand for biological scientists will continue to grow.
Bioengineering mainly studies the basic knowledge and skills of modern bioengineering technology and its industrialization, technological process and engineering design, and conducts product research and development, production and quality inspection in the fields of pharmacy, agriculture, forestry and food.
Biotechnology: Biotechnology is a rapidly developing field, involving life science, chemistry, engineering, computer science and many other aspects. Biotechnology companies are widely used in medicine, agriculture, food and environment. Biotechnology professionals are in great demand and have abundant employment opportunities.
Biomedical engineering: Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary subject, involving biology, medicine, engineering and computer science. Biomedical engineers can engage in medical devices, drug research and development, medical information technology and other fields.
With the aging of population and the continuous progress of medical technology, the demand for biomedical engineers will continue to grow. Generally speaking, these three fields are promising good employment fields, and which one to choose should be decided according to your own interests and professional background.
Bioengineering and biomedical engineering have the following differences:
1. Different disciplines: biomedicine is a science discipline, focusing on scientific research and medical application, while biomedical engineering is an engineering discipline, focusing on practical application.
2. Different fields involved: Biomedical is an academic research on biomedical information, medical imaging technology, gene technology and nano-therapy technology, while biomedical engineering is a research on manufacturing in the medical field.
3. Different employment scope: Biomedical employment is generally concentrated in the medical field, while the optional employment scope of biomedical engineering includes machinery manufacturing, intelligent medical care and instrument research and development.
