Education Requirements for Biomedical Engineers: Biomedical engineers have at least a bachelor's degree in engineering from a university or four-year college. Ideally the degree would be in biomedical engineering, but some biomedical engineers studied mechanical, electrical, or some other related type of engineering.
Courses such as biomaterials, biomechanics, and bioelectricity are often part of the undergraduate Biomedical Engineering curriculum. Up to two-thirds of Biomedical Engineering undergraduates go on for advanced degrees either in graduate school for an MS or PhD or to professional schools for an MD, DDS, or JD.
