美国生物医学工程专业:超高薪职业的代表
众所周知,自从上次震惊全国人民的“非法疫苗”事件发生后,社会和政府对生物医药科学开始重视起来。而生物医学工程专业也逐渐成为美国留学专业申请中的一个热门。毕竟,美国的生命科学及生物医药产业比中国要发达许多,有史以来诞生过数量可观的诺贝尔生物和医学奖获得者。所以今天就给大家详细介绍一下留学专业中这颗冉冉升起的新星。美国生物医学工程专业简介
想要更大的回报,就要有更多的付出。生物医学工程向来是高薪代表,一个生物医学工程师的年薪10万美元的情况并不少见。
但是生物医学工程(Biomedical Engineering,简称BME)不是一个简单的专业,它覆盖面非常广,设置的分支专业相当多。其中不但涵盖了数学、物理、化学、生物这些中国的高中时代就已开设的纯理科课程,还包括计算机、医学、卫生学、机械、材料、信息学以及各种细胞学、血液学、微纳米、蛋白质、医学仪器、医学信号与系统等深奥的知识。也由于学科的特殊性,生物医学工程并不会成为医学或工程学的主流,但又不可否认它对于研究领域的重要性,它是高科技向生物及医学领域渗透并且相互结合的一门新兴交叉学科。
美国大学的生物医学工程专业设置与中国大学有一些区别,各个学校的侧重点研究方向也不同,在申请的时候根据自己的兴趣爱好来选择。美国的生物医学工程分为理学硕士 Master of Science 和工学硕士 Master of Engineering 两类。理学硕士更侧重于研究,通常学制2年,之后可以继续申请博士,而工学硕士主要面向就业,学制会相对短一些。
美国生物医学工程就业情况
劳工部发表预测说,生物医学工程领域的就业市场将持续大幅度增长,远远超过美国就业市场的平均增长速度。这些人主要从事医药和医疗器械和设备的研制生产,除此以外还会工作在医院诊所、政府机关、或者从事咨询工作。据美国劳工部统计,2016年美国总共有两万多名生物医学工程师,预计2016到2020年的工作增长率为62%,新增工作岗位 9,700个。近年来,美国生物医学工程师的年收入约8万-10万美元。
美国生物医学工程申请条件
一般选择生物医学工程的学生,除了本专业本科生可以申请外,实际上对于医学、材料学、力学等专业方面的申请者来说也是相当不错的选择。总的来说该专业申请难度偏高,要求学生有较强的专业背景,同时对语言成绩也有明确要求,申请中等水平院校的最低托福成绩要求是90分,申请综合排名靠前的知名院校,托福要考到100分以上。BME殿堂级的大学有JHU,MIT,Standford和Umich.一般想申请这个档次的大学的学生,建议在硬件条件这块,GPA最好有3.8以上,GRE320+3和托福105分以上的成绩,在软背景这块最好能有自己发表的论文或者做一些项目。
美国生物医药工程专业留学费用
美国生物医学工程专业硕士学位的学制是两年。相比其他的工程类专业,生物医学工程的学费稍贵一些,平均每年在4-5万美金左右,由于不同地区、不同城市的生活费成本差别较大,所以每年的整体花费会有1-2万美金的波动。研究生两年的费用总支出大概在50-70万人民币之间。
