Insight to BioMedical Engineering/Medical Engineering

Biomedical engineering (BME) improves human health by applying engineering principles and methods to medical problems. Biomedical engineers might find themselves developing: Sensors that identify cancer biomarkers in blood A device that mimics the blood-brain barrier for use in drug testing Neural probes to treat Parkinson’s with deep-brain stimulation Computer models that suggest how complex proteins are assembled Waveforms to image the body with MRI Ultrasound therapies to treat tumours non-invasively Injectible stem-cell cultures to regenerate damaged tissue Biomedical engineers need a solid foundation in the biological sciences as well as a firm grasp of engineering principles and techniques. It’s important for students to have access to interconnected engineering, medical, and business resources. BME graduates are a special brand of engineer Career Perspective Laboratory research and instrumentation Design process Teamwork Technical communication Entrepreneurship Legal and r...
