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.
Typically consisting of a minimum of four years of higher education instruction, most biomedical engineering programs are for a bachelor's degree. Graduates can work in an entry-level position with this degree.
