Bioengineering—Connect

Biomedical devices and bioimaging: The biomedical devices and bioimaging concentration focuses on the design of biomedical devices, as well as biomedical imaging and signal processing. You can select a coursework, project, or thesis option.

Bioengineering is a growing sector of the engineering profession. The aging of the U.S. population and the nationwide focus on health issues will help drive demand for better medical devices and equipment designed by biomedical engineers. Additionally, an increased concern for cost effectiveness will boost demand for biomedical engineers, particularly in pharmaceutical and device manufacturing and related industries.

Employment of bioengineers and biomedical engineers is projected to grow 7% from 2023 to 2033, faster than the average for all occupations. The median annual wage for bioengineers and biomedical engineers was $100,730 in 2023. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
