Biomedical Engineering combines biology and engineering to make technological breakthroughs in medical devices, procedures, and patient care. Biomedical engineers work in industries, in labs, and even in hospital operating rooms to make a difference in healthcare. Biomedical engineers work on medical devices, including implants like pacemakers for the heart and prosthetics like hip replacements. They are at the forefront of important healthcare advances like wearable devices to monitor health conditions and equipment used at patient bedsides in healthcare settings ranging from long-term care facilities to hospital emergency rooms.
