Biomedical engineers help to solve medical and scientific health problems. They are involved in medical device fabrication and Aerospace Engineering and testing, prosthesis fabrication, ergonomics, monitoring physiological function, developing home health care technology, biomedical informatics, and functional imaging and tomography. They also conduct research in biomaterials and biocompatibility, artificial tissue and organ fabrication, cell- and biomolecule-based sensors and therapeutics, gene therapy, and biomedical microsystems. Many of the world’s largest medical device manufacturers are based in the Twin Cities, providing internships, jobs, mentors, and project advisors.
