Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineering is a multidisciplinary field where researchers apply principles from various engineering disciplines, physical sciences, and increasingly artificial intelligence to create medical technologies to improve health and even save lives. Biomedical engineers worked synergistically with medical doctors to develop solutions to a medical problem to make an impact on healthcare advancement.
