Biomedical engineering is the application of the principles and problem-solving techniques of engineering to biology and medicine. This is evident throughout healthcare, from diagnosis and analysis to treatment and recovery, and has entered the public conscience though the proliferation of implantable medical devices, such as pacemakers and artificial hips, to more futuristic technologies such as stem cell engineering and the 3-D printing of biological organs.

Engineering itself is an innovative field, the origin of ideas leading to everything from automobiles to aerospace, skyscrapers to sonar. Biomedical engineering focuses on the advances that improve human health and health care at all levels.

Biomedical engineers differ from other engineering disciplines that have an influence on human health in that biomedical engineers use and apply an intimate knowledge of modern biological principles in their engineering design process. Aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science and engineering are all integrated with human biology in biomedical engineering to improve human health, whether it be an advanced prosthetic limb or a breakthrough in identifying proteins within cells.

There are many subdisciplines within biomedical engineering, including the design and development of active and passive medical devices, orthopedic implants, medical imaging, biomedical signal processing, tissue and stem cell engineering, and clinical engineering, just to name a few. Request information to become a biomedical engineering today.

Biomedical engineers work in a wide variety of settings and disciplines. There are opportunities in industry for innovating, designing, and developing new technologies; in academia furthering research and pushing the frontiers of what is medically possible as well as testing, implementing, and developing new diagnostic tools and medical equipment; and in government for establishing safety standards for medical devices. Many biomedical engineers find employment in cutting-edge start-up companies or as entrepreneurs themselves.

Tissue and stem cell engineers are working towards artificial recreation of human organs, aiding in transplants and helping millions around the world live better lives. Experts in medical devices develop new implantable and external devices such as pacemakers, coronary stents, orthopaedic implants, prosthetics, dental products, and ambulatory devices. Clinical engineers work to ensure that medical equipment is safe and reliable for use in clinical settings. Biomedical engineering is an extremely broad field with many opportunities for specialization.

In the last few years, both Forbes and CNN Money have dubbed biomedical engineering as the best health care career out there. And the possibilities within biomedical engineering are nearly endless. New innovations in technology, materials, and knowledge mean that tomorrow's breakthroughs can barely be conceived of today. After all, a generation ago, biomedical engineering, as a field, did not exist.

Career paths in biomedical engineering tend to be driven by the interests of the individual: the huge breadth of the field allows biomedical engineers to develop specialties in an area that interests them, be it biomaterials, neuromodulation devices, orthopaedic repair, or even stem cell engineering. Biomedical engineers often combine an aptitude for problem solving and technical know-how with focused study in medicine, healthcare, and helping others. It is this hybridization that has led to so much innovationand so much opportunityin biomedical engineering.

Like careers in many other engineering fields, biomedical engineers are well paid. Compared to other fields, they earn well above average throughout each stage of their careers. A typical first job as a biomedical engineer nets a salary in excess of $61,000, with many earning significantly more. More advanced careers are comfortably in six figures.

According to the United States Department of Labor, the mean salary for a biomedical engineer is $98,340 with the top ten percent of biomedical engineers earning $149,440.

Economically speaking, medical diagnostics triple in market value each year. Revolutionary advances in medical imaging and medical diagnostics are changing the way medicine is practiced. New medical devices, arising in the research laboratories of biomedical engineers around the world, have completely altered the manner by which disease and trauma is dealt with by physicians, extending the quality and length of human life.

Ultimately, the future of biomedical engineering is tied to both the issues and obstacles we discover and advances and achievements in fields like chemistry, materials science, and biology. Just as in most other fields, interdisciplinarity means that innovation originates from many directions at the same time.

The bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering at Michigan Tech offers undergraduate students many unique, hands-on learning opportunities:

Undergraduate research opportunities are plentiful. On average, six students work alongside each faculty member, researching biomaterials and tissue engineering; biomechanics; or instrumentation/physiological measurements.

Get ready to contribute on the job from day one. Our students benefit from hands-on experiences ranging from to Senior Design to internships/co-ops. Gain real-world experience in the medical device industry, a medical research lab, or a hospital.

Enhance your degree with an emphasis in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science and engineering, or biotechnology by taking elective courses in these areas.

Our undergraduate program in biomedical engineering prepares you for advanced study in the field. Earn your MS or PhD degrees in biomedical engineering or a related field either at Michigan Tech or at another university.

The curriculum offers excellent preparation for medical school, other health professional programs, and graduate school. Michigan Tech's Director of Pre-Health Professions will help you along the way. Approximately 30 percent of our graduates enroll in a graduate degree program, half of which go on to earn an advanced medical, dental, or veterinary degree.

The University's Early Assurance Program provides early admission to medical school for qualified students, especially those wishing to practice in underserved areas; program partners include Michigan State University College of Human Health, and Wayne State University School of Medicine.

HCL Technologies Expands Reach in Canada with New Engineering and R&D Center - Business Wire

There are two ways of looking at Teenage Engineerings add-on modules for its OP-Z portable synth. On the one hand, you could argue that its great that they enable you to add more functionality to your instrument, but if its so useful, you might also question why said functionality wasnt included on the OP-Z in the first place.

Which brings us to the companys forthcoming Line module, which is set to add a stereo line input and an additional stereo line output to the OP-Z. Theres also MIDI, Trig and PO sync I/O.

The Line module is set to join the previously released Rumble haptic subwoofer and Oplab CV add-on in the OP-Z accessories range.

The OP-Z already has a built-in microphone, but the addition of a line-in means that you can add external audio signals to your mix and make more use of its sampling functionality.

A further benefit of the Line module is that Individual tracks can be routed to its output rather than the main mix output, enabling you to process them separately or create effect loops.

The extra output can also be used for headphone cueing, which could be useful if you want to perform a live set on your OP-Z.

The Line module will be available in the spring at a price that hasnt yet been confirmed. Further information will be released on the Teenage Engineering website in due course.
