Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering principles and problem-solving techniques to biology and medicine. BME knowledge and skills play essential roles in modern healthcare, from diagnosis and analysis to treatment and recovery and from the proliferation of implantable medical devices to more futuristic technologies. Biomedical engineers differ from other engineering disciplines that influence human health. Biomedical engineers use and apply an intimate knowledge of modern biological principles in their engineering design process. Subdisciplines in BME include the design and development of active and passive medical devices, orthopedic implants, medical imaging, biomedical signal processing, tissue and stem cell engineering, and clinical engineering, to name a few.
