Let s say you re a student with high aptitude in math and science and that you enjoy these subjects. Consider the possibility of applying your aptitude for engineering to the analysis and solution of problems in biology and medicine. You can do this by choosing to major in biomedical engineering .
Biomedical engineering is a highly interdisciplinary field.
Biomedical engineers learn to apply the subject matter and techniques of all the classical branches of engineering to problems encountered in living systems. Living systems present many challenging technological problems not encountered in inanimate physical systems. Therefore, biomedical engineering education must train engineers to analyze problems from both an engineering and a biological perspective. The combinations of powerful computers, new instruments and precise mathematical models have created a new scientific approach to the study of complex organisms. Biomedical engineers will bring their quantitative training to bear on this new approach.
