S2 Google Day 1

3 goals for the day:

1. Learn about top colleges for biomedical engineering (in the world and in the US)
2. Further look into biomedical engineering
3. Look at biomedical engineer's salary

Links with description of why they are useful to your goals:

2. http://www.utk.edu/advising/guides/1448   (Guide to the Biomedical Engineering Career with things to do in High School and every other thing)

Evidence of what you learned or learned to do and a description of your new knowledge or skills:

Biomedical Engineering spans over several areas. From molecular (genetic engineering), to cellular level (cell and tissue engineering) and in intact organisms, including humans in particular. This career includes the development of orthopedic devices (such as artificial joints) and artificial organs. The new discipline of cell and tissue engineering involves the modification of living cells and tissues to meet specific clinical needs (artificial skin). Biomedical engineers must be knowledgeable in both biology and the engineering sciences. 

• Basic life science preparation includes the study of cell biology and human anatomy and physiology.
• The engineering preparation includes basic mechanics, electrical and electronic circuits, materials science, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
• Required mathematics include calculus, differential equations, matrix methods and statistics.

Career Opportunities

• Biomedical product manufacturing industry
• Biomedical research
• Development organizations
• Hospitals (as clinical engineers)
• Governmental agencies (e.g., FDA, NASA, DOD)
• Biomedical product technical sales.

One thing that you want to learn next Google day:

• High school preparation
• Which area of biomedical engineering do I like the moat?
• Salaries
