Disciplines in biomedical engineering


  • Bioelectrical and neural engineering
  • Biomedical imaging and biomedical optics
  • Biomaterials
  • Biomechanics and biotransport
  • Biomedical devices and instrumentation
  • Molecular, cellular and tissue engineering
  • Systems and integrative engineering

In other cases, disciplines within BME are broken down based on the closest association to another, more established engineering field, which typically include:

  • Chemical engineering - often associated with biochemical, cellular, molecular and tissue engineering, biomaterials, and biotransport.
  • Electrical engineering - often associated with bioelectrical and neural engineering, bioinstrumentation, biomedical imaging, and medical devices.
  • Mechanical engineering - often associated with biomechanics, biotransport, medical devices, and modeling of biological systems.
  • Optics and Optical engineering - biomedical optics, imaging and medical devices.
