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 is a Biomedical Engineer? Biomedical engineering is a profession that researches and develops solutions to biological and medical problems. Biomedical engineers use their curiosity, research and engineering principles to design medical equipment to help others. I've always been curious about the world around me, Erin Lavik says. Science was a natural outgrowth of this curiosity, but her interest in biomedical engineering didn't come until a quarter-life crisis halfway through graduate school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
