Professional introduction
My friend said that their biomedical engineering major mainly studied the basic knowledge and skills of life science, electronic technology, computer technology and information science, including biomaterials, artificial organs, biomedical signal processing methods, medical images and image processing methods. For example: the research and development of artificial organs such as artificial heart and artificial joint, the operation and maintenance of medical equipment such as brain CT machine and magnetic resonance vibration instrument, and the image processing of B-ultrasound and magnetic resonance vibration imaging.
Also, this major is different from biomedical major, and their research fields and disciplines are also different. Biomedicine is a subject under science, focusing on scientific research and medical application. Biomedical engineering is a subject under the engineering category. Pay more attention to practical application and less attention to scientific research. In the research field, biomedicine is an academic research on biomedical information, medical imaging technology, gene technology and nano-therapy technology. Biomedical engineering belongs to the engineering discipline, so it focuses on the manufacturing industry in the medical field, such as medical pharmacy and medical device manufacturing.
Professional courses
Friends said that their professional courses include: analog electronic technology, digital electronic technology, human anatomy, physiology, basic biology, biochemistry, signals and systems, algorithms and data structures, database principles, digital signal processing, EDA technology, digital image processing, automatic control principles, medical imaging principles, bioinformatics and so on.
Biomedical engineering is a relatively small interdisciplinary subject, and its main courses include medicine, communication and programming, and the employment direction of medical instruments, which belongs to a relatively new major. However, if you do research and development positions, it is not enough to have a bachelor's degree, and you need to continue your studies. In that case, if you choose this major, you must calm down and study hard.
Career prospects
The employment prospect of biomedical engineering major is still very good. A friend said that after graduation, their former seniors can work in management institutions and state organs, medical institutions (clinical research, highly specialized medical care and management), medical equipment enterprises, scientific research institutes, universities (basic research and teaching), international pharmaceutical enterprises and health care products enterprises (management and research and development), and the salary is also very good.

Personal feeling
My friend told me that biomedical engineering is a relatively high-end specialty, which is a combination of biotechnology and medicine. We like the learning atmosphere of our major, and we can actively discuss what we don't understand in our study. The teachers in the school are all very good. They are not only excellent, but also patient with their students.
He also told me that biomedical engineering is a complicated major, which not only combines physical chemistry, but also combines the knowledge principles of mathematics and computers, so it is a difficult major to learn, which is more suitable for students with good learning foundation, because good majors have higher admission scores in good universities. If it is an institution, you can choose Zhejiang University Medical College, which is a 985 institution with excellent biomedical engineering.
summary
Generally speaking, the major of biomedical engineering is quite good. With the increasing social demand for the bioscience industry, the state pays more attention to this major, and the employment opportunities and employment benefits will be better in the future. Students interested in biomedical engineering can consider it.
