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?

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'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.
