Biomedical engineering is a discipline that advances knowledge in engineering, biology
and medicine, and improves human health through cross-disciplinary activities that integrate the
engineering sciences with the biomedical sciences and clinical practice.

It is often a stepping stone course towards medicine, dentistry and/or law.

The following are examples of specialty areas within the field of biomedical engineering:

Bioinstrumentation – This specialization uses computer science, electronics, and measurement principles for developing instruments used in the treatment and diagnosis of medical problems.
Biomaterials – This involves the designing and developing of materials fit to be used within the human body.
Biomechanics – This includes mechanics, such as thermodynamics, for solving medical or biological problems.
Clinical engineering – Professionals in this specialization work alongside nurses, physicians, and other medical experts in the operation and implementation of technology in healthcare. They are responsible for taking care of the medical products in healthcare facilities.
Rehabilitation engineering – This involves the study of computer science and engineering to develop devices that assist individuals in recovering from cognitive and physical impairments.
Systems physiology – This uses engineering tools for understanding how systems within living organisms function and respond to changes in their environment.
Generally, the minimum requirement for becoming a biomedical engineer is a bachelor’s degree. Some positions in leadership and research may require a master’s degree or PhD.

Employment of bioengineers and biomedical engineers is projected to grow 6 percent from 2020 to 2030, about as fast as the average for all occupations.

About 1,400 openings for bioengineers and biomedical engineers are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
