Say I want to specialize in biomechanics in biomedical engineering. Should I go strait to a undergraduate biomedical engineering program or a mechanical engineering program and then specialize?
TFRJafar said:So would a bachelors degree in mechanical and a masters in biomedical (specifically biomechanics) work?
TFRJafar said:Ok thanks. now i know biomedical engineering as a whole has a really good future but does a job specializing in biomechanics itself have a promising future?
Biomechanics in biomedical engineering is the application of mechanical principles to biological systems in order to understand and improve the function of the human body. It involves studying the mechanics of biological tissues, such as muscles and bones, and how they interact with external forces.
Some examples of biomechanics in biomedical engineering include designing prosthetic limbs, developing medical implants and devices, studying the effects of exercise on the body, and analyzing the movement patterns of athletes or patients with movement disorders.
Someone specializing in biomechanics in biomedical engineering should have a strong background in engineering, biology, and physics. They should also have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to use various software programs for data analysis and modeling.
Biomechanics in biomedical engineering plays a crucial role in developing new treatments and technologies for various medical conditions. It helps to improve the effectiveness and safety of medical devices, as well as to better understand the mechanisms underlying diseases and injuries.
Some potential career paths for someone specializing in biomechanics in biomedical engineering include working in research and development for medical device companies, academia, or government agencies. They may also work in hospitals or rehabilitation centers, or pursue further education in areas such as medicine or physical therapy.
