2. What is biomedical engineering?
Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes. This often involves collaboration with doctors, therapists, and researchers along with the use of equipment and devices in order to solve diagnostic and therapeutic problems.

3. What does a biomedical engineer do?
Biomedical engineers typically study many engineering disciplines such as mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering but they must also understand biological processes. They then use this knowledge to solve a variety of technical problems, ranging from building glucose sensors to designing structures for hip replacements. Overall, biomedical engineers contribute to our society by creating the medical technology used everyday by doctors to save and improve the lives of thousands of people.

4. Examples Of biomedical engineering inventions
Artificial organs (joints, arms, legs, kidneys, hearts, cardiac pacemakers, synthetic blood vessels, and blood oxygenators)
Blood chemistry sensors (potassium, sodium, oxygen, pH)
Advanced therapeutic and surgical devices (laser system for surgeries, automated insulin delivery)
Medical imaging systems (ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computer assisted tomography)
Sports medicine (rehabilitation and external support devices)
Computer modeling of physiologic systems (blood pressure control and renal function)
