dvice for students looking at potential careers and older professionals seeking new opportunities in bioengineering and biotechnology. Its comprehensive chapters are filled with practical advice on curricula, case studies and inspiring stories by experienced professionals who share their knowledge and recommendations for creating successful and fulfilling careers in these domains.” —Edward Perkins, 2008 Chair IEEE-USA Career and Workforce Policy Committee, USA “. . . .the general understanding of the nature of bioengineering and biotechnology, and the notions about what the related professionals actually do, as well as ideas on potential careers one could expect to develop, have all been unclear. The wide variety of the terminology used has not helped in presenting a clear picture of the subject area. Questions that I have personally encountered from students and the general public indicate the real need for authentic and authoritative information to clarify these important issues. Career Development in Bioengineering and Biotechnology addresses this pressing need. I admire the collective knowledge and experience that has gone into the writing of this book.” —Rangaraj Rangayyan, PhD, PE, University Professor; Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Adjunct Professor of Radiology and Surgery, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada; Author of Biomedical Signal Analysis: A Case-Study Approach (Wiley-IEEE Press) and Biomedical Image Analysis (CRC Press) “. . . once I started reading [the book], I could not put it down. In less than three days, I read it all, absorbing the stories and details as if I was consumed by watching a high action movie. Reading the book felt like sitting with your best friend, or your favorite professor, listening to the voice of wisdom answering all the questions that you may have about entering a professional life and positioning yourself for great success. The breadth and depth of the wisdom is phenomenal, and the stories shared by the writers are moving, inspiring, and shine of intelligence in seizing one’s own passion and talents and turning them into stellar professional careers. What I valued best was the candidness about the reality of entering bioengineering and biotechnology as a profession and the demands it places on agility of mind, highest level of ethics, need to research the field thoroughly for sound decision making, the necessity to work well with other experts, and overall, the imperative to reinvent yourself frequently. I wish for all students to discover this book and use it frequently during their journey as students and as professionals.” —Nathalie Gosset, MS, MBA, Head of Marketing and Business Development, Alfred Mann Institute for Biomedical Engineering, University of Southern California, USA “Bioengineering and biotechnology are emerging as distinct disciplines amid the biological revolution and during a period of rapid globalization. These interesting times offer us unprecedented opportunities for professional and personal growth. . . .The legacy of our t
