Biomedical Engineers use engineering and life science principles to research biological aspects of animal and human life. They are employed in a variety of fields, including industry, hospitals, research facilities, teaching, and government regulatory agencies. Most of the work of biomedical engineers involves developing new theories, testing and proving existing theories, and designing health care instruments and devices and thus revolves around the laboratory.
