<p>Other than research, what areas of biomedical engineering can one work in with a chemical engineering degree? It just seems that most of the biomedical engineers I hear about work with mechanical or electrical engineering.</p>
<p>There are many applications of Chemical Engineering in the Biomedical fields–in fact most programs piggy back infantile BME programs with ChemE classes.</p>
<p>For example, ChemE’s can use their knowledge of transport to characterize blood flow as well as the chemical reactions taking place. Also, in tissue engineering, it is quite important to have a knowledge of biological reactions and kinetics in order to design a proper scaffolding.</p>
<p>But most of the areas related to tissue engineering is still very research-oriented, and I’m not sure if i can make it to grad school or if I even want to. I’m mostly referring to graduates with just a Bachelor’s degree, unless I’'ve had the wrong impression that BS graduates in mechanical or EE can work in biomedical engineering.</p>
<p>ChemE/ME/EE can work in the biomedical field with a bachelors degree though it is often harder since they lack the course work in biochemistry/biology. However, they can easily study BME at the graduate level.</p>
