6 years agoThe scope of Biomechanics is very less in India but it has a very vast scope in the US and Australia. Talking about their salaries, the median annual salary for biomedical engineers in 2017 was $88,040, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This was somewhat higher than the $85,880 median mechanical engineering salary. Nationally, there are 20,590 employed bio-mechanical engineers. Choose bio-mechanical engineering wisely and it would be much better if you have the potential to settle abroad.

Yes, colleges do provide placements to BTech in BME graduates at the end of the course duration, with top recruiters visiting the college campuses either via the college placement drives or annual placement fairs to hire talented students who could bring innovation and a fresh approach to the field of healthcare and medicine. They extend healthy salaries to skilled students who possess the right skill set and knowledge.
BTech Biomedical Engineering syllabus introduces students to multiple important topics like Bioelectronics, where one could think of inserting a chip underneath their skin that would constantly read the vitals of the entire body, and Biomaterials, where students will study how different foreign substances react with the human body and what is biocompatible with it. Furthermore, Computational Biology is also there which teaches students to effectively analyze the data, such as the X-ray scan report, and Medical Imaging, to use the information received through images to detect injuries or other health problems.
