Biomedical engineers integrate engineering skills with understanding the complexity of physiological systems, from the cellular level to the whole body, to improve healthcare. Biomedical engineers design instruments and devices and develop computational models of physiological systems and signals. Some of the well-established specialty areas within the field of biomedical engineering are: bioinstrumentation; biomaterials; biomechanics; cell and tissue engineering; medical imaging; rehabilitation engineering; and quantitative modeling of physiology. Biomedical engineers are employed in universities, industry, hospitals, research facilities of educational and medical institutions, teaching, and government regulatory agencies.
The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Bioengineering and Biomedical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
