Abstract:
Through participation in various activities, industry can influence the curriculum of Biomedical Engineering, provide feedback on how well students are prepared for careers in industry, and find well-prepared candidates for positions within the company. Universities can learn what current technologies are being used in industry and thus adapt their curriculum to meet the needs of industry. They can also acquire industry input to design and research projects and the monetary donations to fund the projects. Students can determine what area of industry they are most interested in, gain some experience in working in that area, find they do not like a particular area and explore other areas, and better prepare themselves for their careers. If additional biomedical companies and institutions of higher learning undertook this type of program, biomedical engineering would significantly improve and so would healthcare.
