Biomedical Engineering involves more than meets the eye.
BMEs use traditional engineering techniques to solve problems in areas such as biology and medicine.
They also apply advanced technology to growing health care concerns. BMEs work with physicians, nurses, therapists, and technicians, instructing them how to use technological instruments and devices . A BME can be involved in many capacities, such as designing instruments, devices, and software that bring together knowledge from a variety of technical sources to derive new products and procedures. BMEs also conduct research needed to solve technical problems in the clinical realm. BMEs must ensure that critical life support and analysis equipment are in proper working order, and they advise hospital personnel on purchasing, installing, and using new equipment.
