For any engineer the typical earnings in salary is about 40K.  That is the poorest of engineers.  Probably you would be making 50K after 3 years.  I am not sure about 15.  I know for sure you will make no less than 30K, because that is the starting salary of lab technicians and my friend is one.

You're really going to have to do your own research on this one. \n\nYou've picked a very broad topic and it will be easier for you to understand if you can turn up some basic research materials on bioreactors/fermenters with diagrams.\n\n"with diagrams" is the key there. These things are easier to understand if you visualize them.

Here's at least a partial bibliography!\n\nhttp://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&q=G+Bolodia&btnG=Search\n\nYou'll probably find this one especially interesting:\n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=6754370&dopt=Citation\n\n"A tribute to professor Sir Hans A. Krebs, F.R.S. (1900-1981)."\n\nYou'll probably need to access them from a library or purchase the papers to read them.  Good Luck!

biomedical science (the application of the principles of the natural sciences to medicine)\n\nWhat is a biomedical scientist?\nBiomedical science is the term for the investigations carried out by biomedical scientists on samples of tissue and body fluids to diagnose disease and monitor the treatment of patients.\n\nThe role of biomedical scientists\nFrom cancer screening to diagnosing HIV, from blood transfusion for surgery to food poisoning and infection control biomedical scientists are the foundation of modern healthcare. Biomedical scientists work in partnership with doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals to perform many different roles in NHS laboratories. Without biomedical scientists the diagnosis of disease, the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment, and research into the causes and cures of disease would not be possible.\n\nDoctors treat their patients based on results of the vital tests and investigations that diagnose often serious and life threatening illnesses such as cancer, AIDS or diabetes. Without biomedical scientists departments such as Accident & Emergency and operating theatres could not properly function. The many roles of support by biomedical scientists for A & E and theatre surgery includes tests for emergency blood transfusions and blood grouping as well as tests on samples from patients who have overdosed on unknown substances, or may have leukaemia or are suspected of having a heart attack.\n\nThe work of a biomedical scientist must be accurate and efficient because patients' lives may depend on their skills. They are continually increasing their knowledge as laboratory techniques develop and research transforms the cutting edge of science and medicine. Scientists learn to work with computers, sophisticated automated equipment, microscopes and other hi-tech laboratory equipment. They employ a wide range of complex modern techniques to perform their roles.\n\nCareer opportunities\nBiomedical science is a continually changing, dynamic profession with long term career prospects including management, research, education and specialised laboratory work. UK biomedical scientists are employed in National Health Service private sector laboratories but are also involved in other organisations such as the National Blood Authority which provides support to hospital blood banks and the Blood Transfusion Service. Biomedical scientists working for the Medical Research Council carry out research in the medical and biological sciences to help preserve health and combat and control disease.\n\nBiomedical scientists are also employed in a variety of roles including the veterinary service, the Health and Safety Executive, university and forensic laboratories, pharmaceutical and product manufacturers, Her Majesty's Forces and various government departments.\n\nThere are also opportunities for biomedical scientists to use their training and skills in healthcare posts and projects around the world. They are involved in voluntary work in developing countries on behalf of international bodies such as the World Health Organisation and the Voluntary Service Overseas.\n\nBiomedical science represents an opportunity to put scientific knowledge into practical use and perform a key role within medical healthcare that offers career satisfaction for many in the profession. Biomedical scientists learn skills and gain qualifications that can be transferred all over the UK and can be recognised worldwide.

Public Health deals more with people, community and diseases. It prepares you to work for government organizations, non-profit organizations, hospitals, clinics, etc. I don't believe this may be as challenging as your Biomedical Engineering program, but you will have to work with people (not molecules) and this definitely could be challenging. Do you have a strong interest in this field? Do you want to make a change in your community? Do you like to work with people? If the answer is yes, then go for it.

Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field. It combines the expertise of engineering with medical needs to improve healthcare. It is a less known discipline than other specialties such as electrical engineering or mechanical engineering. An increasing number of universities with an engineering faculty now have a biomedical engineering program or department from the undergraduate to the doctorate level. Traditionally, biomedical engineering has been an interdisciplinary field to specialize in after completing an undergraduate degree in a more traditional discipline of engineering or science, however undergraduate programs are becoming more widespread.\n\nResearch and development is the most common line of work for biomedical engineers and covers a very wide array of fields: bioinformatics, medical imaging, image processing, physiological signal processing, biomechanics, biomaterials, systems analysis, 3-D modeling, etc. Examples of concrete applications of biomedical engineering are the development and manufacture of prostheses, medical devices, diagnostic devices and imaging equipement, laboratory equipment, drugs and other therapies as well as the application of engineering principles to biological science problems.\n\nClinical engineering is a branch of biomedical engineering for professionals responsible of the management of medical equipment in a hospital. The tasks of a clinical engineer are typically the acquisition and management of medical device inventory, supervising biomedical engineering technicians (BMETs), ensuring that safety and regulatory issues are taken into consideration and serving as a technological consultant for any issues in a hospital where medical devices are concerned. Clinical engineers work closely with the IT department and medical physicists.\n\nBiomedical engineers usually require degrees from recognized universities, and sound knowledge of engineering and human anatomy and physiology. Their jobs often pay well (ranging from US $50,000 to $100,000 per year in 2005). Though the number of biomedical engineers is currently low (under 10,000), the number is expected to rise as modern medicine improves. Universities are now improving their biomedical engineering courses because interest in the field is increasing.

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.  \n\nMux -- 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.  \n\nShift 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.\n\nMicroprocessors -- these are used as controllers in lab equipment, patient monitors, imaging systems, and, increasingly, in smart devices implanted in patients.\n\nFor 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.\n\nHope this helps!
