Biomedical engineers combine expertise in biological sciences, medicine and engineering to improve health care. They usually need at least a bachelor's degree in the field.ccording to the Biomedical Engineering Society, some engineers develop artificial organs, such as artificial hearts, and synthetic blood vessels. Other engineers design therapeutic devices, such as systems to deliver insulin to diabetics. Some engineers design ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging systems.
Biomedical engineering is the study of engineering principles combined with medicine and biology, mostly for healthcare purposes. Biomedical engineers work to close the gap between medicine and engineering â two industries that are massive by themselves, but together solve very complex and important issues.ccording to U.S. News and World Report, a few of the top universities in the United States for biomedical engineering are Duke University, Georgia Tech and Johns Hopkins University.
