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.
Students need to complete at least a 4-year bachelor's degree, preferably in BME or, alternatively, a related engineering discipline with significance relevance to biomedical engineering applications. The best biomedical engineering schools afford students didactic access to a medical facility or medical school. They maintain an interdisciplinary approach that spans numerous engineering disciplines and engages the Departments of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics, among others.
