Hey Kalpana
Out of all the four subjects mentioned above all are equally good and it depends upon your interest that which subject will suit you the most. The scope in all of these subjects is good provided you work hard enough. I will give you a gist of these 4 subjects and leave the decision upto you
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that involves disciplines such as statistics, maths, computer sciences, and engineering so if your maths and stats is good then this subject is good for you.
Biotechnology is another interdisciplinary field including biology: molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, biophysics, biostatistics, microbiology, fermentation technology, medicine subjects as well as the engineering part of it.So for this subjectyou need to have a prior knowledge of biology.
Bioengineering, is the application of engineering principles to the fields of biology and health care. If you choose this you will work with doctors, therapists and researchers to develop systems, equipment and devices in order to solve clinical problems. Ex: Ventilators, microscopes etc
Chemical engineering consists of chemistry (20%) , maths, biology, physics and even economics. If you are a chemistry lover then I have to warn you that chemical engineering is not all about chemistry but only a part of it actually focuses on chemistry.
Out of all of these courses my personal choice would be biotechnology. All the best, I hope you choose your subject wisely.
Hi dear,
Every stream has it's own command and it's own legacy. It completely depends on u in which field you are interested and have your passion or eager to build your career. Always choose that stream which you are passionate of so that you can outshine.
Biotechnology
As the name suggests, biotechnology is a combination science of biology and technology. It is the use of biological constituents (systems or organisms) to make products useful to mankind. It is the technology that uses biological systems to produce a product for a specific use. Depending on its applications, biotechnology overlaps fields like bioengineering and others. The advent of biotechnology has expanded into diverse sciences like immunology, virology, and other subjects like health, agriculture, cell biology, plant physiology, seed technology, etc.
It has the following job aspects:-
Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical Engineering, also referred to as Bioengineering, BioMed or BME, is a multidisciplinary STEM field that combines biology and engineering, applying engineering principles and materials to medicine and healthcare.
The combination of engineering principles with biological knowledge to address medical needs has contributed to the development of revolutionary and life-saving concepts such as:
Artificial organs
Surgical robots
Advanced prosthetics
New pharmacy
Kidney dialysis
Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineering is basically the process engineering and its scope is highly vast. It ranges from core oil and gas to polymers to pollution control.
As a chemical engineer, you can work as a production engineer or a design engineer. A chemical engineer is having a career in R&D and also in teaching profession further there are the following options available:
Space fuel processor: chemical engineers are finding new ways and sources to increase the fuel efficiency
Uranium recycler : Here chemical engineers are required to convert bomb-grade uranium into low enriched uranium that can be used in nuclear power plants.
Genetic Pharmer: chemical engineers work on producing and creating vaccine bearing plants and increasing the crop quality and quantity.etc.
Bioinformatics
“Bioinformatics is the study of information technology in the field of molecular biology”.
Bioinformatics involves the scientific interpretation with the computational information. It involves analysis of various factors which affects the movement in our biological systems. Various kinds of technology are used in this analysis of data. Computers and software tools are extensively used for observations of these databases and preserve them for further analyses.
Bioinformatics Degree holder can work in all sectors of biomedical, organizations, biotechnology, in research institutions, hospital, industry and even NGOs.
You can work in private & government hospitals and as a teacher in private and public colleges.
They can also be employed in scientific research institutes of private & public sector.
Most of these professionals are working in pharmaceutical and Biotech companies. etc.
Thank you
All the best.
