Bioengineering Technology      print | email

Bioengineering Technologists focus on biomedical equipment. They may work on designs or applications, or may be responsible for installation planning, operation, or maintenance for biomedical equipment. Bioengineering technologists may also work on the development or implementation of biomedical systems. They generally work in hospitals or independent medical service organizations, and may inspect, calibrate, or manage equipment found in the facility they work in.

More detailed information about Engineering Technology is available on the Sloan Career Cornerstone Center's Engineering Technology site.

Career Guidance Suggestions for Pre-University Students:
Pre-University students should take as many math and science courses as possible, both during school and as part of after-school programs. Students aged 5-9 should do additional math, puzzles, and building or design projects. Students aged 9-12 should take extra math, and if inspired, explore pre-algebra and geometry. Students aged 12-18 might consider taking advanced algebra, chemistry, geometry, and engineering concept courses.

There are also several lessons and activities, and projects and competitions that can help provide students with an interest in engineering first hand exposure to electrical engineering principals. Students who implement these activities and participate in projects or competitions have a better understanding of engineering and its impact on society. They'll be better able to determine if engineering is the career path for them by sharing their interest with other students, and experiencing hands-on applications of engineering. Summer programs and internships are another great way for students at the pre-university level to explore engineering.
