Why hire a Biomedical Engineer?
- An integration of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering programs with human anatomy and software development training
- Students from BME are able to work on Electrical and Mechanical Engineering projects due to a heavy cross training from both sides
- Cross training allows the BME students to avoid some of the pitfalls of professional tunnel vision by not having such a strict focus on either main discipline.
Unique skills
- 3-D design software SolidWorks
- Circuit simulation programs QUCS (Quite Universal Circuti Simulation), L-Spice and Microcap
- Statistical analysis software programs Matlab and R
- Control languages Arduino, C-basic, C++ and Galil
- Experience with electrical and mechanical engineering as it applies to medical devices
- Quantitative understanding of anatomy and physiology
How can my company interact with BME students?
- Work with BME students on a fourth year final project
- A team of 4th year BME students can provide a fresh look at a problem and create unique solutions
- A minor project could be developed without redirecting resources from existing projects
- Hire a BME student for a 4, 8, or 12 month coop
