| Biomedical engineering combines medical
needs with engineering expertise for the
enhancement of health care. According to
the U.S. Department of Labor, the number
of biomedical engineering jobs will increase
by 31.4 percent through 2010 - double the
growth rate of all other jobs combined, and
triple the rate of other engineering disciplines. |
