Placement of Bioengineering andBiomedical Engineering Graduates

摘要

This paper presents three years of data available from a survey of placement of bioengineering and biomedical engineering graduates. The source of the data is the annual Placement Survey of the Academic Council of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). This voluntary survey yields perhaps the most comprehensive understanding of immediate post-graduation activity for the field. This paper focuses on data for bachelor, master, and doctor-level graduates. Looking across the three years, the data appear consistent with no apparent major trends. The overall placement of bioengineering and biomedical engineering graduates has averaged 89% for the period with all three educational levels showing a slight upward trend; in the most recent survey (2004), each educational level had overall placements above 90%.
