Biological Engineering: Masters required? Type of work done?

Featured Replies

I am currently a college junior, and I have left the limited access program of my former major (nursing). I am fascinated by the sciences, and also appreciate the practical side that engineering offers. So biological engineering has become quite interesting to me. Biomedical is also a great interest, but I have heard a program openly admit that its students would very likely need a masters in biomedical to work as that type of engineer.

I may very well end up majoring in biological for my undergrad, and choosing biomed as my masters, but I am not set on this at this time.

My question in particular is: am I likely to require a masters to work as a biological engineer, just as biomed does?

 

I do have a second question that is worth mentioning while I'm on the subject: if you are a bio/biomed engineer (masters educated or not), or if you know others that are, what type of work do you (or they) do day to day? Obviously I know this varies to a huge extent; I'm just curious to hear individual accounts.

I have very minor to no exposure to the field or engineering in general.

 

Thanks!
