Biomedical engineers apply mathematics, science, and engineering knowledge to solve healthcare-related problems that improve quality of life and reduce the cost of healthcare to society. They design assistive, diagnostic, and therapeutic tools, in collaboration with healthcare professionals. They work in research institutions, clinics, and industry.

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of biomedical engineers is projected to grow 23 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. Growing technology and its application to medical equipment and devices, along with an aging population, will increase demand for the work of biomedical engineers.
