Biomedical engineering: What can we do in the future?

Biomedical Engineering Trends to Watch

1)This is a Japanese book series called Battle Angel Alita. This book not only shows audiences the dangerous adventure of a brave synthetic woman but also presents a future world changed by one field of biomedical engineering: Artificial Intelligence.

what: tells series of cyberpunk stories of a synthetic female about action fighting in the future world

when: December 15, 1990

who: Yukito Kishiro

where: Business Jump magazine

why: The works contain a lot of latest technologies such as Space elevator and Nanorobotics, which are connected to biomedical engineering very closely.

advantages: It is easier to contact with some biomedical knowledge by reading vivid fiction.

disadvantages: There are some limitations towards beneficial people since some elderly people might not prefer to read friction.

2)This is a hyperlink to a BME professional organization website called Patent Examiner Program. It is a job opportunity towards BME major graduate I found out from handshake website. This program is committed to determine whether patents can be granted for inventions.

what: This program gives their positions towards BME major students to apply for a patent.

when: June 25th, 2020

who:Judy Klein

where: US Patent and Trademark Office in Alexandria

why: It shows job opportunity towards those biomedical engineering major students to better develop their ability

advantage: It shows a competitive future job position to the public

disadvantage: This program is too professional to other people who are not BME major student to participate

3) This is an interesting video about a day of in the life of biomedical engineer and show its pros and cons by using vivid scene plays.

what: all the information of being an biomedical engineer in the daily life

when: 12,18,2018

who: a YouTuber called All Systems Slow

where: YouTube website

why: It shows some true facts about being an biomedical engineer would look like to the audiences who are interested to know or to be a biomedical engineer.

advantages: Showing true facts by using interesting scene plays would attract more audiences attention without feeling boring

disadvantages: There are some stereotypes existed in the video might ‘mislead’ audiences who are not familiar with BME

4)This is an academic resource about introducing future biomedical engineering trends towards various of technical fields, letting people better understand the huge effect of changing life for biomedical engineering.

what: it includes 5 popular trends in the future which might change the look of healthcare field.

when:05/16/2017

who: Fred Pennic

where: A website called Hit Consultant

why: It shows more chances to those who are in the BME field of their bright future of medical aspect.

advantage: It showed specific trends to give people direction towards fields they are interested in.

disadvantage: It wouldn’t be suitable for people who have broad taste of jobs because they might not be interested in any of them as long as they don’t want to be in medical field.

5) This is a news introduces scientists use biomedical engineering technology to prove that semi-synthetic could produce protein as well, which encourages more and more people in BME field to create more inventions in the future.

what: It reported new findings in the BME field that semi-synthetic organism could produce protein.

when:July 17, 2019

where: a magazine called American Chemical Society

who: Aaron W. Feldman, Vivian T. Dien, Rebekah J. Karadeema, Emil C. Fischer, Yanbo You, Brooke A. Anderson, Ramanarayanan Krishnamurthy, Jason S. Chen, Lingjun Li, Floyd E. Romesberg.

why: This discovery might help to create new life using unnatural forms in the future and encourage more and more BME field staffs.

advantage: It is a really encouraging news for scientists to work in the future.

disadvantage: It’s too professional for people who are not in BME field to understand.
