How is biomedical engineering?
Biomedical engineering (BME) is the application of engineering principles to solve biological and medical problems for the purpose of improving health care..
Several academic Biomedical Engineering programs trace their roots to the 1950s but were housed within traditional engineering departments.
Most were in electrical engineering programs since the initial medical devices were mostly electrical or focused on imaging.

What are the products of Biomedical Engineering?

Kidney dialysis, pacemakers, hearing aids and synthetic skin are other products of biomedical engineering.
Explain how engineers are involved with design related to the human skeletal system.
Identify some of the necessary features of a prosthetic limb.
Describe several design criteria that go into choosing the material for a prosthetic limb.

What does a skeleton student learn in biomedical engineering?

Students extend their knowledge of the skeletal system to biomedical engineering design, specifically the concept of artificial limbs and joints.
Students relate the skeleton as a structural system, focusing on the leg as structural necessity.

What is a biomedical engineer?

According to the Biomedical Engineering Society, the areas of specialization for biomedical engineers include:

biomaterials; bioinstrumentation; biomechanics; medical imaging; rehabilitation; and cellular

tissue

and genetic engineering.
Biomedical engineers who specialize in biomaterials develop materials that can be safely implanted in the body.
