What is being in a career in medical technology like?

What (career) advice would you give to a high-school student interested in science , technology, and engineering?

• I believe I can achieve great things in science or technology field. Both interest me very much and in near future I would like to go to college to study one of them, but I don't know which. When  it comes to science I am intrested in chemistry and   astronomy/astrophysics (space, simply put). And as regards the  technology I really enjoy everything cutting-edge. Engineering seems to be the best combination, and I won't lie, I would like to have high salary. I thought about Biomedical Engineering, Nanotechnology, Aerospace Engineering (really would like to go to Mars! :D ) but also Software Engineering. 1. What should and could I learn now to satisfy my desire of scientific knowledge and to make it easier for me at college? 2. Could you recommend some other interesting fields?

• Answer:

  I can talk about Biomedical well so is the case Biomedical Engineering would give you cutting edge technologies which will help you plunge forward in your life Biomedical includes, Science Component Anatomy and Physiology which is a part of Biology It has application of Physics in terms of understanding the Physical Phenomena happening in the body You can learn Chemistry of various body reactions which generate different Phenomena, and how new drugs can be developed for the same Mathematics is used in Biomedical to explain the different phenomena by creating Models for them Technology Component Biomedical includes any technology you are building to make healthcare delivery to the patient easy that may be based on anytype of engineering Mechanical Engineering is used to study the Biomechanics of Different parts of Body, Including movement of Joints, Bones and Muscles. You can develop Exoskeltons with a part of this knowledge Electronics Engineering is used to develop various medical electronics based applications like ECG, EMG, EEG as well as different patient monitors. All the electronic devices which are used to tap signals from body also comes under Biomedical Computer Engineering is used to develop various Medical softwares required for Biosignal processing, Medical Image Processing, Medical Imaging like CT, MRI, XRaya, Ultrasound Above three are the main Branches of engineering other than this all branches of Engineering if used to solve healthcare issues comes under Biomedical Engineering There are two ways to do things First, Be a Biomedical Engineer and strive hard to learn other Branches of Engineering and apply them to healthcare during your course time second way is, Do engineering in any of the above and start working in dedicated module So the approach depends upon you. For me Biomedical Engineering quenches thirst of my knowledge for different fields. Thus I advise the same. To satisfy your needs you need to read read read and then analyse and decide what suits you the best? Choice is all yours all information is there on world wide web. Make a smart choice depending upon the information you have got Comment if you want me to add something more
