My advisor used to tell me “biomedical engineering is a third mechanical, a third chemical, a third electrical, and a third biology”. And from what I have seen of the major, it is true. We may not go into very deep detail of many things, but we have the foundations of everything. Graduating with a BME degree means that you can, on your own, learn the knowledge that you would need for a job in any of these fields before your first day at the job. BME, in addition to giving the ability to learn multiple different disciplines, is a complete discipline in itself. There are so many jobs out there specifically for us, and there are also many jobs out there not looking for us specifically but with the right communication we can fill and prosper in. Our knowledge coming out of college has some gaps in it compared to other professions, but BME’s will have an easier time picking up on ChemE stuff than an ME will. And that is true for many other disciplines as well. This fits perfectly in industry because the lines separating disciplines all but disappears on the job.
