Description
The discipline of biomedical engineering integrates, at the molecular, cellular, and whole body levels, the fields of biology, medicine, and engineering. Because of their broad training and ability to think and understand vastly different disciplines, biomedical engineers are critical members of interdisciplinary teams working on the design, development, and utilization of materials, devices, and techniques for modern biomedical research, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Biomedical engineers are highly sought after in research laboratories, hospitals, and biotechnology industries.
