Biomedical engineers research and test biomaterials suitable for medical implants, such as an artificial knee replacement, to ensure the material can withstand the forces of everyday use.
Alternatively, biomedical engineers may work on large-scale manufacturing of medical devices. They are responsible for production of medical devices intended for human use. Devices must be safe and cost-effective in order to benefit as many people as possible.
Biomedical engineers contribute in many ways to solving some of society's greatest medical problems. In this field, important decisions are based on ethics and physical evidence. Biomedical engineers design, test and implement medical solutions that are ultimately useful to clinicians, surgeons and patients.
