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.
Function. Biomedical engineering is a diverse field focusing on the creation, implementation, and use of various devices to benefit the medical industry. These devices generally involve years of planning, design, and invention before becoming commonplace in hospitals or laboratories.issue engineering is the latest form of biomedical engineering, and relates to the effort by scientists to create and manufacture artificial tissues and organs for use in human patients. Some early success has been made, including working bladders that can be grown and then transplanted into people.
