Cool Engineer of the Month: Rafal Chudzik
Biomedical engineering consists of adapting principles and methods of engineering with medicine and healthcare to understand and solve problems while improving the quality of life. The industry is quickly evolving with technological advancements in areas of research, clinical applications and medical devices. Bioengineers utilize engineering concepts and technology to develop products such as, medical instrumentation (i.e. blood glucose sensors), biomaterials (i.e. artificial skin), implantable devices (i.e. pacemakers) and artificial organs (i.e. heart). Devices used in hospitals and clinical settings for medical procedures were designed and developed through bioengineering research. More ...
