Bioengineering is the study of applied engineering practices in general biology. Biomedical engineering is a more specialized version of bioengineering, utilizing many of the discipline’s principal theories and putting them to practice to improve human health.

Biomedical engineers design and build innovative devices (artificial limbs and organs, new-generation imaging machines, advanced prosthetics and more) and improve processes for genomic testing, or making and administering drugs.
