Fritz Claydon, director of the Division of Undergraduate Programs and Student Success at the Cullen College of Engineering, was recently featured in the Houston Chronicle article “Demand for Biomedical, Civil Engineers Continues to Rise.”

Biomedical engineers work to improve the quality and effectiveness of patient care, exploring healthcare technology, management and delivery.

Civil engineers contribute to environmental, structural and infrastructural projects, such as road repair and water management systems.

As the demand for improved healthcare and infrastructure support increases, employment opportunities for skilled biomedical and civil engineering professionals will continue to grow in response. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of both biomedical and civil engineers is projected to grow much faster than the average for all other occupations from 2012 to 2022.
