Biomedical engineers combine expertise in biological sciences, medicine and engineering to improve health care. They usually need at least a bachelor's degree in the field.ccording to the Biomedical Engineering Society, some engineers develop artificial organs, such as artificial hearts, and synthetic blood vessels. Other engineers design therapeutic devices, such as systems to deliver insulin to diabetics. Some engineers design ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging systems.
What They Do [About this section] [To Top]. Biomedical engineers analyze and design solutions to problems in biology and medicine, with the goal of improving the quality and effectiveness of patient care.lso, they frequently work in research and development or in quality assurance. Biomedical engineers design electrical circuits, software to run medical equipment, or computer simulations to test new drug therapies. They also design and build artificial body parts such as hip and knee joints.
