Preparing to be a Plastics Engineer or Bio/Biomedical Engineer in Industry out of College

Submitted by John Rodgers on Mon, 01/25/2010 - 1:02pm

I am currently a graduate student pursuing an M.S. degree, doing research with injection molding of medical polymers. I most likely would like to get a job in medical device/implants when I complete my degree, and was wondering if anyone could come up with an all-encompassing list of skills and knowledge I should have/learn in order to be marketable to those in medical companies and medical research institutions who are hiring. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Balloon Catheters

"A balloon catheter is a type of "soft" catheter with an inflatable "balloon" at its tip which is used during a catheterization procedure to enlarge a narrow opening or passage within the body. The deflated balloon catheter is positioned, then inflated to perform the necessary procedure, and deflated again in order to be removed." Common uses include angioplasty and uterine catheterization. (Wikipedia 4/13/2009)

Catheters

"In medicine a catheter is a tube that can be inserted into a body cavity, duct or vessel. Catheters thereby allow drainage, injection of fluids or access by surgical instruments. The process of inserting a catheter is catheterization. In most uses a catheter is a thin, flexible tube ("soft" catheter); in some uses, it is a larger, solid tube. ("hard" catheter)" (Wikipedia 4/13/2009)
