Biomedical engineering is an
interdisciplinary field in which
the principles and techniques
of engineering, physics, chemistry,
and other physical sciences
are applied to facilitate progress in medicine, biology,
and
other life sciences.
Biomedical engineering
encompasses both engineering science and applied engineering
in
order to define and solve problems in medical research and
clinical medicine
for the improvement of health care.

What Biomedical Engineers Do?
Biomedical engineers can design
and develop new medical equipment in
medical and Pharmaceutical industry.
Also, many biomedical engineers work in research labs.
The combination of an aging population, the
demand for more sophisticated medical
equipment, and the need to develop cost-effective
treatment techniques,
will fuel the strong growth of biomedical
engineering jobs.
