Every year, many candidates and parents fill in the college entrance examination and misjudge due to misunderstanding of the name of the major. Or miss the opportunity, or enter the wrong line, regret again and again. This issue reveals a profession, which is often misunderstood, but it is really urgently needed by the national strategy, with good employment, high salary, and a promising future. Biomedical engineering, often misunderstood as a "sinkhole" major, is actually a "treasure" major with broad development prospects.
1. Misunderstandings
Mistaken for a biology major. It is only regarded as a medical device manufacturing and underestimates the technological content. The market is limited to hospitals, and the scale is limited. 
Second, the real situation
Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary profession that encompasses a variety of fields such as life sciences, electronic technology, computer technology, and information science. It does not belong to pure biology or medicine, but is a comprehensive and high-tech discipline that integrates the three fields of science, engineering and medicine. This major focuses on the basic knowledge and skills of biomaterials, artificial organs, biomedical signal processing methods, medical imaging and image processing methods.
Third, the field of "stuck neck".
The cutting-edge technologies involved in the field of biomedical engineering, such as biological neural deep learning, intelligent sensory sensing, brain-computer interconnection, and regenerative medicine biomaterials, are as difficult as lithography machines. However, this field has been controlled and monopolized by foreign countries for a long time, and has become one of the fields that has been "stuck" in China. Therefore, biomedical engineering is listed as a national strategic emerging industry to promote the development of this field in China.
Fourth, the profession has a wide range of fields and industry prospects
Biomedical engineering graduates have a high level of specialization in the fields of medical nursing and clinical basic research. The devices and systems they develop play an important role in the observation, diagnosis, and mitigation of diseases. In addition, graduates can also work in high-tech fields supported by the state, such as medical instrument technology, equipment and medical-specific software.
Biomedical engineering graduates have a wide range of employment opportunities in a variety of fields, including:
Governing bodies and state agencies: responsible for the formulation and supervision of relevant policies. Medical institutions: engaged in clinical research, highly specialized medical care and management, etc. Medical device industry: involving the use, sales and service of medical devices. Research institutes and universities: engaged in basic research, teaching, etc. International pharmaceutical and health products companies: responsible for management, research and development, etc. Collaboration between private institutions and doctors: providing specialized services and support. These fields provide biomedical engineering graduates with diverse employment options and room for development.
