Biomedical engineering (BME) is a revolutionary and rewarding field: Biomedical engineers are on the forefront of medical breakthroughs that improve the quality of life for millions of people worldwide. Some of the innovations they've created include artificial organs, medical imaging systems, laser surgery, blood analyzers, automatic patient monitoring, and rehabilitation devices and procedures. Specialty areas include cell and tissue engineering, biomechanics, bioinstrumentation, orthopedic engineering, clinical engineering, biomaterials, rehabilitation engineering, medical imaging, and systems physiology.

What can you do with a degree in Biomedical Engineering (BME) BME is among the most versatile degrees you can earn to make a difference at the intersection of engineering and medicine. Biomedical engineers work in clinical research, in the medical device or pharmaceutical industries, for government agencies such as the FDA or US Patent and Trademark Office, and often pursue advanced degrees in BME, medicine, management, or law. Where will your degree take you This rigorous program prepares you for a career in the medical industry and is an ideal stepping-stone to graduate, medical, or law school.
