- Activities of bioengineers are widely spread. They use their knowledge to design and build medical instruments, artificial organs, prosthetic limbs, therapeutic devices, and medical imaging equipment. They help doctors to design new medical procedures, including new rehabilitation techniques. They also assist pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in developing new, more efficient bioprocessing technologies. Finally, they find solutions for medical and biology-related problems of consumer technology in the areas of safety, ergonomics, and comfort.
- Bioengineering is a rapidly growing profession with expanding career opportunities. By virtue of their vigorous cross-training, bioengineers are well-poised for careers in healthcare, medical device production, pharmaceutical industries, and consulting in health-related fields, as well as other positions in industry, education, and government.
