Bioengineering Biological engineering is a multidisciplinary program which solves problems related to biological systems. Biological engineering graduates are employed in a diverse range of manufacturing sectors, where they work on product development, process design and quality control related to food, health care and other consumer products. Biological engineers also apply their knowledge of materials, physiology and mechanics to develop medical implants and assistive devices. Others may use their knowledge of microbial systems to design waste treatment and bioremediation processes. A number of students go on to graduate programs in biomedical engineering or other professional programs such as medicine or dentistry. Biomedical engineering applies the fundamentals of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology to solve problems related to human health and medicine. Some examples of biomedical engineering activities: prosthesis fabrication, home health care technology development, imaging, fabrication of artificial tissue and organs, gene therapy development and biomolecule-based sensors. Biomedical engineering includes:
