Biomedical engineering is basically combining engineering with medical research and product development. They do this in order to create new ways to treat and cure injuries and diseases.

You're going to have to have a firm grasp of engineering principles like mathematics and science but you're also going to combine that with a little bit of healthcare knowledge. You're going to be taking a lot of anatomy and physiology classes because of the fact that you'll be making products that human beings will be using not just physically but they might be inside of somebody's body.

You have to think of things from a little bit of a marketing perspective as well a lot of people would be very weirded out by putting some sort of technology inside of their body. So, you need to make things as ergonomic and pleasing as possible

One of the reasons this one has such high job satisfaction and meaning is because you are very directly helping people. So, a lot of the time you're going to be designing devices that you think are going to save someone's life or maybe prolong their life or improve their quality of life.

So, that can give you a lot of meaning, a lot of health care degrees in general have high meaning scores. Oftentimes, they'll have good job satisfaction. the reason is because you're directly helping people there's a lot of other careers where you might be helping people but it's a little more indirect. You don't necessarily get to see the fruits of your labors

It's one of the engineering degrees that has the highest meaning and job satisfaction.
