Biomedical Engineering
Biomechanical and biomedical engineering combine the discipline of mechanical engineering with human anatomy and physiology. Work in this area may include designing prostheses, developing movement systems for people with spinal injuries, and refining equipment for athletes in high-performance sports.
   
Examples

If you want to help people in your community or across the planet who are in need of medical help then biomechanical and biomedical engineering is a smart choice.

Biomechanical and biomedical engineers are involved in:
Designing artificial hearts and pacemakers that may extend a person's life
Creating lifelike prosthetic limbs for greater mobility and freedom
Improving glucose monitors
Developing new physiotherapy technologies for sports injuries
Improving incubators for premature babies
