About

What is Biomedical Engineering?

Biomedical engineering uses problem-solving techniques and engineering mechanics to solve biology and medicine-based problems.

Biomedical Engineering is a relatively new area of Engineering, but it is the fastest growing area due to increased demand for biology-based engineers from the MedTech Sector.
