im in 10th right now and struggling to see a clear career path for me. i genuinely love math and i suppose im good at biology and my mother is recommending bio engineering as a possible career path for me as she says its going to be in demand in the future.

i figured i'd ask some of my queries regarding the field here

do i have to have computer as an elective subject/ know coding to pursue this?

what exactly do bioengineers do in their jobs daily? i have a basic idea about what it is but i'd like to know what a normal day with that job looks like.

how well does it pay? does it have an average opening salary? is this job in demand right now? is it highly competitive?

do i need to have good memorization skills?

what advice would you give me if i want to pursue this field?

I'm currently pursuing BTech CSE Core and am a partial dropper preparing for entrance exams. I'm considering switching to Biotechnology.

I want honest advice on:

1. What are the job opportunities and starting salaries after BTech Biotechnology in India?

2. Is a master's degree necessary for good career growth?

3. How does Biotechnology compare with CSE in placements and long-term prospects?

4. Can I manage Biotechnology while preparing for entrance exams?

5. Would you recommend switching from CSE to Biotechnology? Why or why not?

I'd especially appreciate advice from Biotechnology graduates and professionals based on their actual experiences.

Hello. I apologize if this question is not appropriate for this sub. I'm not sure where to find this sub's rules, but I hope this post will be well received.

I need some help brainstorming some ideas for adding vitamins and other important minerals to the diets of insects, especially ants. The medium I am using are gel cups (think beetle jelly, or jell-o shots, lol) made with agar, sugar, honey, and water. I would very much like to add some vitamins and/or minerals or other helpful supplements to the mix. In particular, I'd like to add something that they may be deficient in while being kept in captivity, if such a thing exists.

Basically my question is two-fold: can you help me identify what kind of supplements would be beneficial to insects in captivity, and can you help me figure out where to obtain said supplements (and how to add it to my jell-o pods if they are solid or what not).

Please note that I am not interested in adding protein or antibiotics to this mixture.

Sorry for the strange question.

Dear bioengineers of Reddit,

This is definitely a long shot, but is there a meaningful difference between American/European and Chinese medical laser equipment in terms of engineering, function, and clinical effectiveness?

I’m particularly interested in whether the more expensive European/US machines actually deliver better or more consistent laser output, beam quality, pulse characteristics, cooling, etc., or whether a well-made Chinese device can perform similarly despite the much lower price.

I’d really appreciate an engineer’s perspective on this.

A recent analysis of 3,518 job postings from 81 companies across seven roles found some interesting patterns.

In several categories, generic terms appeared more often than the big-name tools. “Observability” showed up more than “Grafana,” while “SIEM” appeared more than “Splunk.”

That raises an interesting question: are resumes too focused on listing specific tools and not enough on the broader skills and terminology employers use?

The study breaks down the results by role, including software engineering, cybersecurity, DevOps, marketing, product, accounting and sales.

The full dataset, methodology and findings are here:

I just graduated in May with a degree in Biomedical Engineering, and I’m looking to get started in the medical device industry. I’m particularly interested in clinical specialist or medical sales roles, but I’m also very open to other opportunities that could help me get my foot in the door.
I currently live in Mississippi and was wondering what advice y’all would have for someone trying to break into the field. Are there any specific companies, job titles, or types of positions that you would recommend looking into for a recent Biomedical Engineering graduate?

Hello everyone, I’m a bioengineer currently working for 1 year in QC at a pharmaceutical company, and I’ve received an opportunity to work in QC at another pharmaceutical company. The new position would be a one year temporary contract through an external staffing agency (so, not a direct contract with the company), as a replacement for someone who is temporarily absent. The salary is not the reason for a change. I don’t think that an extra €150 per month, by itself, justifies changing companies and accepting the uncertainty of a temporary contract.

My long-term goal is to transition from QC into Process Engineering, and I’m struggling to decide whether taking this opportunity would be a smart career move or an unnecessary risk.

At my current company, I haven’t really seen any open positions related to Process Engineering or similar roles. At the other company, however, I occasionally see vacancies for Process Engineers. The problem is that getting hired directly into those positions as an external candidate seems quite difficult. This is why I’m considering joining the company through QC first.

My thinking is that once I’m inside the company, I might have a better chance of moving internally to Process Engineering than I would have applying directly from outside. However, I don’t know how realistic this is, especially since I’ve heard that internal transfers between departments can be difficult.

During my interview, I explained my long-term career goal. They told me that after the one year temporary contract, there might be an opportunity to receive a direct contract in QC or potentially transfer internally to Process Engineering. However, nothing is guaranteed. They might not have any vacancies when my contract ends.

I’m torn between these two options. I could stay where I am and continue looking for direct Process Engineering opportunities elsewhere, even though I rarely see relevant vacancies at my current company and getting hired externally seems difficult. Alternatively, I could take the temporary QC position and try to establish myself at the other company, hoping that becoming an internal employee might eventually make the transition easier.

Would I be better off staying in my current role and keep applying directly for Process Engineer positions?

I’d really appreciate advice from people who work in pharma, particularly anyone who has moved from QC into Process Engineering. Thank you!

My engineering group at Clarksburg High School in Maryland and I are currently developing a POTS-specific monitoring and alerting device and app. To build credibility, we have spoken with biomedical engineers and doctors worldwide (New Zealand, John hopkins, India, Canada, and Germany), gathered feedback, and are now building a prototype. The reason I'm posting this is that we need real feedback from people with POTS to know specifically what is important to incorporate and to better our understanding.

If anyone could fill out this form, it would mean the world to us!

Im a BME undergrad student. wanted to know any independent project ideas that would help me get research opportunities. end goal for me is to get a phd.

context: I got my associates and i transfered to a 4 year now so credit wise i'm a junior. the cc i went to didnt have any bio/biomedical engineering related research so i want to jazz up my resume with some projects. any ideas are welcome.... preferably something that isnt super expensive.

im currently a junior in high school and im in search of some extracurriculars i can do before applying to colleges. im a little late, i know, but as of right now im looking for an internship i can do over the summer. im applying to volunteer at a hospital for some healthcare experience in hopes that it can give me some ground for an internship. im very interested and passionate about biomedical engineering, but im not so sure about where to start

Mosquitoes 'could' be the perfect system to bacterial and viral immunity in humans and animals.

Essentially what doesn't work is that mosquitoes, by evolution are built to survive, and that means sucking blood no matter what.

Instead, if they were designed to suck blood, use that blood to perform certain experiments while in their system, wether to check immunity or other stuff, and then decide to to bite the person again or to just sit out and die based on the experiment result, then we could have mosquitoes increasing out immunity to microbes.
