Engineering the Health and Wellness of the Future

Biomedical engineering is emerging as one of the fastest growing fields of engineering. Biomedical engineers apply engineering principles and analysis, including knowledge of math, physics, chemistry and biology, to solve problems related to human health and medicine. As a biomedical engineer, you'll work in a multidisciplinary workplace with scientists, biologists, biochemists, doctors, surgeons, as well as other engineers. The field is broad - biomedical engineers design machines and instruments to see inside the body, help people recover after an injury, grow cells and tissues for transplantation, design new materials for medical devices, design software and computers for medical applications, design and manufacture devices such as pacemakers, artificial joints and contact lenses.
