Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineers develop devices and procedures that solve medical and health-related problems by combining their knowledge of biology and medicine with engineering principles and practices. They do research to develop and evaluate systems and products such as artificial organs, prostheses, instrumentation, medical information systems, and health management and care delivery systems.
