2. What is Biomedical Engineering?
Biomedical engineering is a diverse, multidisciplinary field that uses engineering, science and technology to solve medical problems and other problems involving living systems.
Science fiction is a little less fictional in the day- to-day work of biomedical engineers, who design prosthetic limbs and artificial organs or regenerate tissue. They also create drug formulations, develop pharmaceuticals or collect and analyze biological data, among other work. Biomedical Engineering is the study of the human body as a whole system and the mechanisms of disease through a large amount of engineering analysis, and to use that understanding to design better therapeutic strategies, devices, and diagnostics to improve human health.
