The exciting field of biomedical engineering involves developing devices and procedures that solve medical and health-related problems by combining knowledge of biology and medicine with engineering principles and practices. Whether you want a career in medicine, public health or in the rapidly growing biotechnology industry, a biomedical engineering degree from Florida Tech gives you a strong background in biology and engineering with experience in biomedical instrumentation and biomechanics.

As stated above, careers in biomedical engineering are centered among the systems, products and instrumentation of the medical industry. While graduates of this program gain expertise in engineering and biology to do these jobs, they also often design computer software to run complicated instruments, such as three-dimensional x-ray machines; use their knowledge of chemistry and biology to develop new drug therapies, and rely on their mathematics and statistics skills to build models to understand the signals transmitted by the brain or heart.
