Biomedical engineers study humans, animals, machines, and the environment in order to improve quality of life. They may specialize in a number of areas. Environmental engineers study the environment to determine how to improve air and water quality. In clinical engineering, the biomedical engineer designs and maintains diagnostic and health care delivery systems. In medical engineering, the biomedical engineer develops artificial organs and limbs, diagnostic and therapeutic devices, pacemakers, and imaging equipment. Environment Biomedical engineers may work alone or with medical and administrative personnel, scientists, or other specialists in research laboratories and hospitals. They may work in undersea or space programs or for companies that manufacture medically related equipment or instruments. Prep General college preparation is recommended. Coursework should include three math classes including algebra I, algebra II, and geometry (or a higher level math course for which algebra is a prerequisite), three science courses including one biological science, one physical science, and one lab course, four English units, and two social studies units. If available, students should take two years of a foreign language. Academic A four-year bachelor’s degree from an engineering or physical science program is recommended, with a concentration in biology, anatomy, or the behavioral sciences. Most careers require a master’s or doctoral degree. Some biomedical engineers are physicians with specialty training. Earning Potential $30,000.00 - $78,000.00
