Hi
Would some one know what the specific expectations
( theoretical knowledge ) of a new grad in bioTech firm are ?
( they R & D + production heart failure medications)
thanks

RE: Mechanical Engineering in BioTech Field
I think I need to work on my knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes. Other specific information would come out of whichever biotech field you end up in. I am planning on finding some anatomy courses to take so I can get up-to-speed on where my work actually ends up.
In terms of R&D, I think just the basics you learn in school will suffice - how to look up what you need to know and how to juggle priorities to fit a very rapidly changing field.
Good Luck to you, a mechanical in a heart medicines job?

Have you checked out http://www.spineuniverse.com ?
They have good descriptions of many of the products and procedures related to spine.

It seems that, at least on the orthopaedics side, biomechanical is not all that different from other mechanical. In some cases it's even easier as there is a rather short list of approved materials we're allowed to use.

Did you attend the OMTEC show in Chicago? I was there exhibiting with my company. I work for a contract manufacturer who specializes in spine and orthopedics. Your company is probably one of our customers.
I am a manufacturing engineer with a mechanical background. I also take classes in a Biomed program. I'd like to get into the design side someday.
Take Care.

I must say the work you do is quite interesting. I was looking to do work like this a few years ago. Now I'm in a different career.
RE: Mechanical Engineering in BioTech Field
Thank you. It can be pretty cool.
