Does biomedical engineering have scope beyond research? Is biology necessary at 10+2 level to pursue it?
Yes, biomedical engineering does have a scope beyond research. There is a substantial and growing medical device industry that hires BE grads. There are some really interesting opportunities designing, making and delivering medical device technology so that health care providers (e.g. doctors) have the tools to treat people. For example, pacemakers, catheters, imaging systems, diagnostic equipment, stents, artificial hearts, dialysis machines, artificial joints, and vascular grafts are some of the devices that biomedical engineers help produce. One place you can get some insight in this industry is the main magazine: MD&DI http://www.devicelink.
