Mikayla Jensen
About Me
 Graduated from Jordan High School in Sandy
 Attended the University of Utah
 Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering
 Minor in Chemistry
 Master’s Degree in Bioengineering
 Emphasis in Biomaterials and Therapeutics
 Internship at Bard Access Systems (now owned by BD Medical)
 Currently a Quality Engineer at ICU Medical
 We manufacture various medical products focusing on IV products, critical care
catheters/monitoring systems, and oncology products
What is Biomedical Engineering?
 Intersection of two disciplines
 Life Sciences
 Biology, Physiology, Medical
 Engineering
 Design & Innovation
 Purpose: To create engineering approaches that allow one
to study, analyze, diagnose, and develop new therapies to
treat disease and heal damaged tissues and organ
systems.
Classes to take in Preparation
 Almost anything in MATH and SCIENCE
 Biology, anatomy, physiology, and other life sciences courses
 Will help with development of understanding of the problems that need to
be fixed and the environment your solutions will be used in
 Physics, Chemistry, Math (Calculus & Statistics), Computer Science
 Will help you understand how to solve the problems
 The importance of these classes will depend on which emphasis you want
to go into
 Technical writing courses
Educational Requirements for
Biomedical Engineering
 Only programs in Utah are at University of Utah and Utah

Career Outcomes
 Two main paths for graduates
 Industry
 Medical Devices, Pharmaceutical, or Therapeutics Companies
 Companies that manufacture devices or treatments for patients to use in clinical settings
 Start-ups vs Large Companies
 Research
 Will likely have to have a PhD
 Researching new and innovative ideas to current medical problems
 Laboratory work, animal studies, & clinical trials
 Likely will not have clinical applications for years (FDA has a very long testing and approval process)
Salary/Income Range
Industry
 As a new graduate going into industry (in Utah) with no experience and a
bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering, the average income you can
expect would be around $60,000
 A master’s will increase that by about $5,000 and a PhD by about $10,000
 Based on personal, peer, & advisor experience as well as University generated
reports where students are asked to report their salaries after graduation
 A senior engineer can reasonably expect to earn over $100,000 a year towards
the middle or end of their career
 Going into management in industry can produce much higher salaries, often in
the mid to high 100,000s (you will need a master’s degree at least, either
Engineering or an MBA)
Salary/Income Range
Research
 PhD programs pay a stipend of around $20,000 to $30,000 a year when working
in a professor’s lab
 Salaries range widely based on what type of research you end up in
 Professors in Bioengineering at the University of Utah make between $100,000
and $350,000
 These jobs are not very plentiful and take years of post-graduate work
 There are also an increasing amount of research jobs in industry, but still not
very many
Working Schedule
 Most of the jobs with this degree are within normal business hours
 Some manufacturing engineering positions will have shift work based on
manufacturing operational hours, but this is more common in other
engineering disciplines (but still not that common)
 Often have lots of flexibility on working hours
 Most engineers at my company work their 8 hours sometime between 6am
and 6pm
 Most jobs are full time
 Contract Engineers work months long contracts for short term projects
Job Market
 Like most healthcare industries, medical devices, pharmaceuticals,
and therapeutics will always be needed, even as the economy changes
 Industry jobs are stable and most projections will tell you that the
number of job openings are ever increasing
 Your skills in industry will often be transferrable to other engineering
industries as you gain experience
 Most research jobs are based in academia, so the job market will be
very similar to what it is now
Ethical Issues
Research
 Animal Testing
 Rats are used most often, but large animal models like pigs, horses,
sheep, etc are needed for FDA submissions before human clinical trials
will be allowed
 Stem Cells
 Embryonic – Bush administration banned – ok again starting with Obama
 Newer stem cell types with less ethical issues:
 MSCs (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) - from bone marrow, can differentiate into
less types of cells: bone, fat, and muscle.
 Cord Blood Stem Cells – extracted from umbilical cord after birth of a baby
 iPSCs (Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells)
 Stem cells that are created from adult cells.
 Shinya Yamanaka found 4 genes that control differentiation of a stem cell into an
adult cell and by controlling those genes, you can reverse the cell from an adult cell
to a stem cell
Ethical Issues
Industry
 Balancing Business needs with Safety of the Patient/Customer
 These businesses need to make money! You will feel pressure to release
product into the market
 As Engineers who help design and produce product, you need to keep the
patient safety in mind
 Quality Engineers in particular need to be “advocates for the patients”
 Don’t release product if you aren’t confident that patients will be safe using it
What do I do as a Quality Engineer?
 The Salt Lake Plant is a fully operational manufacturing plant where millions
of products are produced daily
 My main responsibility is Validations on Molding and Automation Equipment
and Product Designs
 When we make changes, we have to make sure it does not affect the quality of the
products and will still be safe for patients to use!
 What kind of changes? product design, material composition, material supplier,
new machines, new parts in a machine, and so many more!
 I make testing plans, write protocols and reports, and do data analysis
 Testing shelf life of components: real time or accelerated aging and then
testing to make sure product still functions
 Helping to gather stability data for FDA or international submissions
 And so much more!

Working Schedule  Most of the jobs with this degree are within normal business hours  Some manufacturing engineering positions will have shift work based on manufacturing operational hours, but this is more common in other engineering disciplines (but still not that common)  Often have lots of flexibility on working hours  Most engineers at my company work their 8 hours sometime between 6am and 6pm  Most jobs are full time  Contract Engineers work months long contracts for short term projects
  • 13. Job Market  Like most healthcare industries, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and therapeutics will always be needed, even as the economy changes  Industry jobs are stable and most projections will tell you that the number of job openings are ever increasing  Your skills in industry will often be transferrable to other engineering industries as you gain experience  Most research jobs are based in academia, so the job market will be very similar to what it is now
  • 14. Ethical Issues Research  Animal Testing  Rats are used most often, but large animal models like pigs, horses, sheep, etc are needed for FDA submissions before human clinical trials will be allowed  Stem Cells  Embryonic – Bush administration banned – ok again starting with Obama  Newer stem cell types with less ethical issues:  MSCs (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) - from bone marrow, can differentiate into less types of cells: bone, fat, and muscle.  Cord Blood Stem Cells – extracted from umbilical cord after birth of a baby  iPSCs (Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells)  Stem cells that are created from adult cells.  Shinya Yamanaka found 4 genes that control differentiation of a stem cell into an adult cell and by controlling those genes, you can reverse the cell from an adult cell to a stem cell
  • 15. Ethical Issues Industry  Balancing Business needs with Safety of the Patient/Customer  These businesses need to make money! You will feel pressure to release product into the market  As Engineers who help design and produce product, you need to keep the patient safety in mind  Quality Engineers in particular need to be “advocates for the patients”  Don’t release product if you aren’t confident that patients will be safe using it
  • 16. What do I do as a Quality Engineer?  The Salt Lake Plant is a fully operational manufacturing plant where millions of products are produced daily  My main responsibility is Validations on Molding and Automation Equipment and Product Designs  When we make changes, we have to make sure it does not affect the quality of the products and will still be safe for patients to use!  What kind of changes? product design, material composition, material supplier, new machines, new parts in a machine, and so many more!  I make testing plans, write protocols and reports, and do data analysis  Testing shelf life of components: real time or accelerated aging and then testing to make sure product still functions  Helping to gather stability data for FDA or international submissions  And so much more!
