Engineering master’s program integrate biology and technology
Posted on 8/30/2010
Individuals who wish to launch engineering careers in the healthcare field are expected to have exceptional job prospects in the future, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the demand for biomedical engineers will increase by 72 percent.
These professionals may develop the sophisticated equipment that will answer some of the medical industry's forthcoming challenges, such as the aging population as well as the demand for protheses and artificial organs. Because these positions will require a master's degree at minimum, individuals who wish to do this type of work may want to consider enrolling in an engineering graduate school.
Fortunately, many of these institutions are beginning to launch master's-level courses of study in healthcare-related subjects.
For instance, the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering recently announced the availability of a new graduate program in bioengineering. School officials said that this track was developed to answer the growing demand for professionals in this field.
Students who complete similar programs may be qualified to work in the chemical and materials, healthcare, biotechnology, electronics and devices, defense, security or government sectors.
