Biomedical engineers design and develop solutions for biological and medical problems. Biomedical Engineering (previously named Bioengineering) is an interdisciplinary program that emphasizes integration of engineering principles with the life sciences. Biomedical Engineers develop new medical devices, design diagnostic and therapeutic tools, and model physiological systems. Students choose one of four options to determine advanced coursework: Biochemical, Biomaterials, Biomechanics, or Medical Imaging and Devices. The role of a Mechanical Engineer is to take an idea to the marketplace to improve our quality of life. In order to accomplish this, a broad range of skills are needed. They need to understand the needs of a product or invention, its parts, or its subsystems will encounter; how to design them for functionality, aesthetics, and the ability to withstand the environment that the product will be subjected to; and to determine the best way to manufacture the design rapidly and at a low cost.
