Jobs in Biomechanics
(OP)
Hi
Wondering how many of you bioengineers did grad school and how many went straight after undergrad into the field? Any tips for places to apply? I have a BSc in Biology and Mechanical Engineering, and not a lot of luck looking for jobs in the field. Plan to do grad school in a few years.
Thanx!:)

It's a volatile field, but is slated to grow through the roof for at least the next ten years. try.... orthoworld.com
btw, I got this job through my school's career resource center, even after 6 months out of school they hooked me up.
Just keep your eyes and ears open and stay flexible.

We use Ti 6Al 4V ELI almost exclusively for implants (another quirk is that you canNOT have dissimilar metals in contact because of the dialectric effect). Another material is called PEEK (polyetheretherketone) which is a pretty impressive polymer.
Instruments are usually just some form of stainless, as they only have limited body contact.
Just amusing to think that out of all the materials in the world I tend to only deal with three.
