WSU Bioengineering Program Agenda What is Bioengineering? What do Bioengineers do? WSU’s Bioengineering Program

Bioengineering “Apply knowledge of engineering, biology, and biomechanical principles to the design, development, and evaluation of biological and health systems and products, such as artificial organs, prostheses, instrumentation, medical information systems, and health management and care delivery systems.” U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics “…uses traditional engineering expertise to analyze and solve problems in biology and medicine, providing an overall enhancement of health care.” Biomedical Engineering Society

Bioengineering Expected 62% employment growth between 2010 and 2020 Overall engineering: 11% increase Overall occupations: 14% increase Aging population, focus on health issues Will drive demand for better medical devices and equipment designed by biomedical engineers Because of growing interest, degrees granted in biomedical engineering has increased greatly Competition for jobs Bureau of Labor Statistics 2012
