Interview Question :: Am doing engineering in biomedical field...we r studying digital electronics,electrical plus biological subjec

i fail to make a link of studying this electrical and electronic subjects to my branch......i cnat make a head n tail out of it..i end up getting frustrated..y the heck am i learning this stuff...is this really required to become a biomedical engineer?plz guide me on this guyz n gals...like i have to study multiplexer,shift registers,microprocessors, etc...how will this help me in working on bm euipments?

RE: Am doing engineering in biomedical field...we r studying digital electronics,electrical plus biological subjec?
Okay. I'm Electrical and Computer Engineer, so I will admit to some bias. However, it seems to me that you cannot be a competent Biomedical Engineer without some EE/CE knowledge. Mux -- a very common and basic electrionic component that selects from two or more inputs. It seems to me that you would have many applications in patient monitoring, drug delivery, imaging, and prosthetic applications. Shift register -- a common implementation in digital signal processing applications. For example, if you have a patient monitor that is supposed to alarm under certain conditions, the likely implementation of the signal processor would be using shift registers. Microprocessors -- these are used as controllers in lab equipment, patient monitors, imaging systems, and, increasingly, in smart devices implanted in patients. For biomedical engineering, you will need to understand signal processing, sampling, and control systems. It seems that the subjects you are studying are directly related to these topics. Hope this helps!

A microprocessor is a programmable IC that has several input and output pins. A shift register doubles the number of IO pins, minus one to control the register. Multiplexer, dunno. This stuff IS the BM equipment. Don't think you can be very useful if all you know how to do is turn the knobs.

My BF was hired to design and test electronic devices help the human heart, and lasers that kill bacteria that cause cancer. All sensors and "assist" devices have electronics. It is very important for biomedical engineers to have an EE background - if you are unsuccessful, someone could die. That is why it takes years of design, test and long FDA process for electronic medical devices to be approved.
