Biological engineering, or bioengineering/bio-engineering, is the application of principles of biology and the tools of engineering to create usable, tangible, economically viable products.
With expertise spanning physiology, biology, healthcare and health informatics, mechanics, and engineering, biomedical engineers can combine their diverse skills to create solutions to continuing worldwide health issues, helping to change how patients are treated and lowering the cost of care.
As our population lives longer, the demand for biomedical devices and procedures is expected to grow. Driven by access to by-the-minute news, the tech-savvy public is more aware of breakthroughs in medical technology and advancements than ever before.
Because of this awareness, more and more people will continue to seek out biomedical solutions to their complex health concerns, each time expecting a newer, more convenient and more advanced means of treatment.
