Do you have any questions about biomedical engineering? Let us know!
can i get her fb id to talk with her? i want to know more thing about BME in USA
@@suvvikn2770 Hi, What About "Biomedical Engineering Technology" I heard it's different from "Biomedical Engineering"
STEMinine
Hhh
My goal is to become a competent Biomedical Engineer so that I partake in the maintenance of dialysis machines, however seeing that engineering mathematics is a key element in the courses, I feel that such a goal is unlikely due to my level of mathematical knowledge. It's truly disheartening.
Sarah, what things would you recommend for a 7th grader that would like to become an engineer?
As a young female from Georgia wanting to be an engineer this really gave me some much needed motivation and inspiration 😂 Great video!! 💕
I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for watching and good luck in your journey!!:)
Thanks for this! I’m an Electronic Engineering student right now and I can’t wait to do Masters in Biomedical Engineering! 😊❤️
I thought she was Sara from buzz feed 😂😂
its her twin omg
Negligent Gamer the best thing is that her name is also Sarah!
I loveeeee this degree...I have a background in radiology and massage therapy..I think I would fly through this degree since I understand the human body!!! Awesome review!!!!! Thank u for sharing!!!!
With a BME degree can I work in a space centers? Like as a BioMed Engineer?
Miss Sara l want to be like u. I am now entering senior high school and it's been mi dream to be a biomedical engineering student at the university of Pennsylvania and l am going to follow mi dreams although I am in Ghana and then l will make sure l study hard and become a great person like u l know it will not be easy to come to America and study over there but l know God will make a way
Omg !! Thank u srsly for this video, i needed to know more about biomedical engineering and this helped me ty 💕
I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for watching:)
I want to be a biomedical engineer 😭😭
do ittttt
Am a biomedical engineer
@@resintb9135 Are you getting paid now?
STEMinine 6 months late but I’m studying it next year 😊
you still here get moViNg
This was super helpful. Thank you!
Y’all were very nice and well spoken I am wanting to pursue something that combines the medical field along with engineering
Then biomed engineering is probably the thing for you:)
Thanks a lot! this video helps me a lot because I need to know more about this career, so thank u!
Is it likely to get into developing and researches about medicines or human body with this degree? Or is it much more connected to mechanics?
it is very much more connected to mechanics:)
I am mechanical engineer....
Which country is best to do ms in biomedical
I was considering to join to an investigation group of bio mechatronics and this convinced me to do it
Gr8 job.......ur natural in connecting and engaging ppl......gd work....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻☺️☺️☺️
thank you! It takes a lot fo practice but it helps that Sara is a friend:)
Such a great video Jessica!
Thanks Kaila! And thanks so much for supporting all of my videos:) Happy holidays!
What program did Sara apply to that allowed her to rotate for three years?
I can't decide between studying medicine and biomedical engineering 😭😭😭 What is better?
And am I able to study medicine after biomedical engineering? Can you explain how? Please 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
I think it depends on the requirements to get into a med school program so you would need to check the requirements
Omg that is literally my same issue😂
Me too! But both options are great. 😊
@Heyimayana Vlog, are you in the US? If yes, you can get into medical school essentially with ANY undergraduate degree. It doesn't have to be biomedical engineering. You just need to complete the pre-requisite courses (which you should check with your college pre-med advisor). I am a senior in Biomedical engineering thinking about applying to medical school next year. Biomedical engineering really does give you a unique way of visualizing/understanding the body and how it functions. If the plan is to attend medical school after, it might be helpful as in that you will have an engineering perspective of the body and its systems. In my university, most of the requirements to get into the Biomedical Engineering program are the same as the Pre-med requirements, like General and Organic Chemistry, Physics for Science and Engineers, College biology. But you might still have to take human anatomy and physiology if it is not offered in your engineering program but is required by the medical school you are thinking of applying to. Of which, most medical schools require or recommend those. If you don't mind me giving a piece of advice, if you like the idea of Biomedical engineering and are ready to work smart and hard, go with it, keep in mind that it is quite challenging and you need to have stellar GPA if you want to go to medical school. So it won't be an easy path, BUT YOU CAN DO IT. Do not rush yourself. It doesn't really depend on which is better, it depends on which one you believe you will enjoy. As a biomedical engineering student, i am exposed to stuff like this; a) signal processing, so like understanding what certain sinusoidal waves mean like brain waves, b) biosystems: the electrical concepts such electric circuit set ups of pulse oximeters to calculate your oxygen saturation, amplifying signals etc; c) design a biomedical device and all the aspects and paperwork that come with it; d) programming; e) physiology and anatomy for engineers; f) biomechanics of the body- understanding the forces in the body and how they work.
Feel free to respond, if you need anymore guidance :)
Could you get into nanotechnology in terms of cancer research through Biomedical Engineering?
Thanks for your question Inez! I'll ask Sara and get back to you:)
Hey Inez! I got a reply from Sara. She says:
"you can. I worked as an undergraduate researcher in a lab that focuses on cancer drug therapeutics. So there are cancer research opportunities in Biomedical Engineering. Specifically on nanotechnology, the research I supported included working with nanoparticles to deliver drug therapy. There is opportunity to do it through biomedical engineering. You would just need to find the right lab because there is a variety of research on different topics. However, another option too is to do your bachelors in a related engineering topic (just an example: materials engineering) and then get your PhD in biomedical engineering to work on this type of research as well. Many paths you can take."
@@RiverTechJess Woaaahhhh! You're so dedicated to your viewers!! Great to see your videos and how you handle content!! Good luck and cheers!
Thanks so much Dibyo! Ya I do it for them and thanks for the support!
Can a mechanical engineer pursue masters in biomedical and do PhD, if so what are the good universities in the world?
Absolutely!!! There shouldn’t be any problem with that:) I’m not sure about the best universities in the world. But I think I’m going to make a video about « the best underrated engineering universities in the world »
I can't decide between dairy engineering and biomedical engineering
Which is more better and easy to get job?
Is biomedical engineering hard to study?
Is biomedical engineering a good major?
I want to do a Master in Biomedical engineering in Vienna. They have specialisations in 1. Medical Physics and Imaging 2. Biomechanics
In which field can i work later with these two options? Thanks!
Merry Christmas 🥂 awesome break down
Thank you! Happy holiday's Michael:) How long of a break do you get?
Actually in China we don't get Christmas break, only break for Chinese new year which is in late Jan early Feb.
Please help ...
Which is better stream biotechnology or biomedical engineering
Subscribing for my goddaughter. Seems like an excellent series!
thank you! I hope she likes it:)
I want job. I am biomedical engineer. Can you guide me
IVD machine which Sector of Biomedical Enginnering.?
Hii... Thank you so much for your video about biomedical engineering. I am now a third year student at that major in Malaysia. Can you please give me some advice on which skill a biomedical engineering student should be master at before enter industry and do you have any tips to get a job for a fresh graduate. Thanks in advance.
What conferences should I be looking at, as an aspiring biomedical engineer?
Hey Gregory! I don't know anything about it but what you could do is look up some biomedical labs/professors at a university that does biomed research that interests you, then look up where the biomed professors at that university are publishing. Chances are that they're submitting papers to some cool conferences! Good luck!
STEMinine Thank you!
Hi I’m planning on pressuring a bachelor degree in computer science but I’m also interested in bio medical engineering. Would it be best too double major and do both or pick one.
Hey Naeemah! I don't necessarily think you need to double major if you want to work in the biomedical field. Maybe you can major in computer science and take some biomed classes. Or better yet, I would suggest talking to a biomed lab or company and see what opportunities are available for computer scientists/ Networking! Hope this was helpful!! Good luck!
STEMinine thank you ❤️
Hi! I was wondering what did you end up pressuring? I am exactly in that situation, I'm planning on pressuring an engineering and can't decide between computer science or biomedical :/
I want to do bio medical engineering but in 12th i not took maths subject without maths it is possible to do....plzz reply mam..
Priti Parab you can do a foundation year
Which university grant scholarship for 88 % in biomedical for master's in USA n which one is better to study n earn
Should I study biomedical engineering if I’m not that good at math and physics?
you should..you will just have to work harder than usually expected
kuda Nyakuwanikwa Ok , thank you !
I would personally say no as you will hugely stuggle
Is there a big difference from Biomedical engineering and Bioengineering?
Inez Santos it’s the same thing
@@chickenbob5053 no in bioengineering you also look at plants and other biological things. Biomedical is only the human
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching charlotte!!! Happy holidays:)
Hi i want some information about BME IN USA i m just in my 1st year in college please answer me soon and thanks
Is Biomed engineering a good undergrad degree if you want to go into radiology? I know that medical imaging is involved in bme
But Whole noooooooo....
Which international companies employ biomedical Engineers ??
is biomedical field is good .? does it has job opporunties ...
Hi I'm from India did my undergrad in dentistry am I eligible to apply for biomedical engineering?
Pls help me I want a job ,in biomedical engineer field
Thanks
Ma'am can I be a bio medical engineer if I complete my plus one and plus two in science group
Hi Achoos, I'm not sure what you mean by plus one and plus two? Are those terms only used in your country?
I am an Indian ma'am . I would like to be a bio medical engineer. Plus one is after tenth standard.
Thank you ma'am for your reply
@@achoosathul7434 hey i am an Indian too ....
Did u pursue bme?
Can you suggest some company for biomedical engineering Fresher plss..
best at 1.5 speed
quite well summarised!
Hello I need to know if I'm eligible for masters in biomedical engineering as I have completed my 10+2 with physics chemistry n biology
most grad level bme requires an understanding in chemistry all the way through organic, biology all the way to molecular and cellular, and intro to physics 1-2
is there any opportunity for a mechanical engineer to be involved in higher study related to cancer research? if so, then how? i just completed my bachelor degree in mechanical engineering.
I think you need to figure out if you can get into a biology masters. I think that would be the best next step for you. Or talk to some labs that do cancer research and see what type of people they look for:)
What is the 3 year program she said she applied for?
It's just a generic rotational program within her company. Usually, they're called "graduate trainee" programs. But I will ask her the exact name and get back to you:)
Hey David, saw your post. I am Sara in the video. Nice to meet you. The rotational program is a leadership development program in quality engineering. A lot of engineering companies offer rotational programs in different ways - one location/3 different departments/3 different jobs/3 years, multiple locations/6 jobs/total 3 jobs and 6 months each/6 different departments, etc. My rotation is 3 different positions in quality engineering over 3 years in 3 different locations. The exact rotation is "Quality Engineering Rotational Program" but if you search "engineering rotational programs" on google or even reddit you will find a few examples. Good luck!
STEMinine sorry Jess, I want to clarify. I have not heard of a rotational program being called a "graduate trainee" program though I may be wrong and may depend on the company. The concept is a program that offers mentorship, technical development, and leadership development for long term success within the engineering industry. It is a full time job not an internship or the like. Hope that helps clarify.
Thanks so much Sara for taking the time to answer! Y'a it's also called a "rotational program" in Canada but in Europe we call it "graduate trainee" and it's a transition program that lets you work in many different sectors within a company that allows you to find your best fit in the company. Probably the programs are slightly different between Norh America and Europe:)
STEMinine thanks for clarifying 😊 makes sense that different countries call these types of programs differently!
Nice video. I am Electrical Engineering student and want to know more about biomedical engineering for masters studies. Is this right for me in future. Or I should go with electrical engineering. Please answer it. Thanks
Hmmm honestly, I dont know what is better. The only thing I can tell you is that you should choose what YOU want to do. You need to think about what's better for YOU. Because it's your life and you need to enjoy what you do:) Hope this was helpful and good luck!
Thankyou for this video! When you mentioned about the decision of doing a PhD..does it mean you can do one after getting a bachelors degree or do you have to get a masters degree ?
Hmm it depends. MOST of the time (majority) you need a masters degree first. However, I have heard of cases where people have gone from bachelors straight to PhD. But these are exceptional cases (and most of the time the students are geniuses). But honestly I would suggest doing a master's because its just 1-2 years of your life and itll help you decide if you actually want to invest another 3-6years for a PhD
Is her major biomedical engineering?
Why a bed?
Please tell me biomedical engineering job and salary in usa
Hi! Iam pursuing BEbme ,I wanna know Various job opportunities in this course
Hmm, I'm not sure but I think you should be able to find these opportnities online:) probably a lot of jobs with companies that build machines that they use in hospitals.
Tq for quick reply 😆😃! kindly make a video if u know any opportunities in it
I work as Validation Engineer... manufacturing process, equipment and systems validation and I have chemistry degree. Some in my field have biomedical engineering and chemical engineering degrees. Some chemistry, some biology background
Hi ! i am looking forward to get a diploma or bachelor degree in canada for the biomedical engineering but still curious does canada is a good place to study that subject, and after looking at this video i just realised that you are also studying in canada ,can i get your email ? And can you give me recomendation on what are the best college also university to study for biomedical engineering in canada ? Thank you and looking forward for your reply !
Every college in canada is good. especially for the bachelors it doesn't make a difference where you study. I would suggest you think of which professors you want to work with. maybe this is how you want to make your decision.
Hi Gung! I live in Canada and universities in Canada provide great biomedical engineering programs! As far as I know, there is the Waterloo University in Ontario that offers this program and Guelph.
McGuill in MTL is probably best for overall engineering, there's McMaster, the one in Toronto, UOttawa, Queen's University… apply to many though, they're all great
Nice!
Achoos is my brother . My name is sandra ..
So could i get the BS in biomedical engineering first and then get the PhD in chemical engineering or materials engineering????
I think it depends on what you want to do. but the title doesn't really matter. its the topics that you work on
can i get her fb id to talk with her. i want to know more things about BME in USA
I put the link the Sara's group in the description:)
I am bio medical engineer
Justin Parmar does it pay enough and is there any scope of development in future
Pls help me i want to more about biomedical field ,so pls help to me her fb id
Biomedical engineering and biotechnology what is the different
Екатерина Белая biomedical is mostly about developing medical devices and prosthetics whole biotechnology is like medical genetics. Using genetic technology to diagnose and treat disease . Hope that helps
Thanks Chuks! I didn’t even know what biotech was until now:)
STEMinine welcome :) . I plan on coming to Canada to study biomedical engineering I just finished in biomedical sciences . What are my chances of getting in ?
Hey Chuks Emmanuel, I really have no idea. But it doesn’t hurt to apply! So just apply and see how it goes:) good luck!
