Typical pay: BLS, 2024 bioengineers and biomedical engineers median $106,950
A Biomedical Engineering (BME) major applies engineering principles to medicine and biology. A typical ABET-accredited bachelor of science builds on calculus, differential equations, physics, chemistry, and biology, then adds biomechanics, biomaterials, biomedical instrumentation, medical imaging, systems physiology, and biosignal processing, usually finishing with a senior capstone design project, often built with a clinical or industry partner.
Graduates design and test medical devices, prosthetics and implants, imaging and monitoring systems, and the software behind them, and they work in medical-device companies, hospitals, research labs, and regulatory roles. Because the field spans engineering and the life sciences, students often concentrate in an area such as biomechanics, biomaterials, bioinstrumentation, or imaging, and many continue to a master's, PhD, or professional health program.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 5.2% employment growth for bioengineers and biomedical engineers from 2024 to 2034, and reports a 2024 median wage of $106,950 for the occupation. The typical entry-level education is a bachelor's degree, though research and design roles often expect a graduate degree.
