What are the trends in Bioengineering Careers?
The greatest number of bioengineering specialists work in manufacturing industries, such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical instrument development, and health care supply. Many others worked for hospitals, government agencies, or as independent contractors or consultants. These types of jobs are expected to increase by nearly thirty-two percent over the next five years. Through the next decade, experts predict that bioengineering positions will nearly double the average growth rate for all other types of jobs. An aging population with a focus on health issues has increased the demand for better medical devices and equipment. Coupled with this long-term trend is an industrial concern for cost efficiency and effectiveness. This requires the talent of biomedical engineers.
