Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for bioengineers and biomedical engineers. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Evaluate the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of biomedical equipment.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Prepare technical reports, data summary documents, or research articles for scientific publication, regulatory submissions, or patent applications.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Design or develop medical diagnostic or clinical instrumentation, equipment, or procedures, using the principles of engineering and biobehavioral sciences.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Conduct research, along with life scientists, chemists, and medical scientists, on the engineering aspects of the biological systems of humans and animals.
Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?
5. Adapt or design computer hardware or software for medical science uses.
How would you handle an unfamiliar part of this task? Identify what you would need to learn.
6. Maintain databases of experiment characteristics or results.
