<p>Biomedical engineering may have a high growth rate, but the current number of jobs is apparently not high enough to give graduates in that major good job and career prospects compared to electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science graduates in university career surveys.</p>
<p>This is a case where knowing the difference between something (e.g. the number of jobs) and its first derivative (e.g. the rate of change of the number of jobs) is a useful concept to understand.</p>
