Biomedical Engineers study the human body from an engineering perspective and create high-tech solutions for improving human health. They are well-suited for the design and development of implantables, such as artificial joints or stents, wearables, such as glucose monitors or artificial limbs, and healthcare equipment, such as a medical imaging systems or surgical consoles. Many biomedical engineering graduates select to join cutting-edge research programs where they use their knowledge of science and engineering to expand our understanding of human conditions and develop novel methods to treat disease and disabilities.
