What is the difference between biomedical science and biomedical engineering
1, from the point of view of the disciplines belonging to, biomedical science belongs to the basic medicine under the category of medicine, graduation is awarded Bachelor of Science; and biomedical engineering belongs to the biomedical engineering under the category of engineering, graduation is awarded Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Science.
2, from the learning content and training objectives, biomedical science is mainly learning biology module and medical module, the purpose is to cultivate a solid knowledge of life sciences and medical science, can independently carry out scientific research medical research personnel. Biomedical engineering is a multidisciplinary integration of specialties, both learning biology, medicine, but also learning physics, chemistry, computational science, etc., the main training is high-end medical instruments, advanced medical materials and other research and development capabilities of specialists, such as artificial heart, artificial joints and other artificial organs of the R & D, brain CT machine, nuclear magnetic *** vibration instrument and other medical equipment, research and development, manipulation and maintenance, ultrasound, nuclear magnetic *** vibration image processing for imaging, etc.
3, from the employment point of view, biomedical science positioning mainly for higher medical schools, tertiary hospitals and biomedical companies to train senior researchers, but to really engage in scientific research, basically need to graduate degree or above, or even doctoral degree, most of the undergraduate students graduated from the pharmaceutical companies, medical equipment companies engaged in sales or medical representative work. Biomedical engineering majors are mainly employed in hospitals and medical device-related enterprises. For example, they can work in the imaging, equipment, information center and other related departments of hospitals to engage in the maintenance of medical devices, procurement management and information management; they can also work in the research and development, sales and maintenance of medical device-related enterprises. If you can go to the doctor, you can also go to the higher medical school to engage in medical imaging technology teaching, research work.
