RIT Biomedical Engineering

What is Biomedical Engineering?

The branch of engineering that uniquely leverages the vast knowledge base embraced by biology to solve problems focused on healthcare & the human body.

Biomedical Engineersunderstand the inner workings of the human body, including its organs, circulatory system, nerves, muscles, and bones, as well as the unique constraints placed on design.

are experts at assessing the human body as a complex, interactive system.

bring to product design teams a critical link between human biology & engineering analysis.

work in teams of experts across multiple disciplines to create medical and health-related products.

RIT biomedical engineers may reduce the current dependence on doctors as consultants to teams tasked with developing new health-related products.

KidneyBlood & Waste Blood

Waste

Example: The Kidney

Function of kidney is to remove soluble waste from body.

Engineers analyze the kidney’s functions subject to given inputs, and develop models that can predict outputs.

Systems Engineering Approach

Engineers develop devices that replicate kidney functions.

Page 8: RITRIT Biomedical Engineering Biomedical Engineering at RIT Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering Kate Gleason College of Engineering Rochester

RIT Biomedical Engineering

The kidney does not operate in isolation; it interacts with other systems in the body!

Issues with Biomedical Employment

Honest assessment: Currently, there are few jobs for undergraduate biomedical engineers

Most biomedical engineers need a graduate education

Industry assessment of biomedical engineer undergraduates is that they are “Engineering Lite”

Cause of “Engineering Lite”: Engineering curricula around the country are cobbled together from other

existing engineering programs Always taking chem E 101, Mech E 101, etc. Superficial training in each field Proficiency then resides in original field—original field is hired!
