NIBIB Search These Databases Biomedical Engineering Research Grants Program Summary The Biomedical Engineering Research Grants program was the foundation's first grant program. Beginning the year after the foundation was created in 1975, the Research Grants program was modeled after the philanthropic interests of U.A. Whitaker, who during his lifetime actively encouraged engineers, scientists, and physicians to join in solving problems in medicine and biology. The program was formed when biomedical engineering was still relatively young, a time when there was a perception that biomedical engineers were at a disadvantage when competing for research support from the two largest government funding agencies, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). NIH reviewers often saw biomedical engineering proposals as having too much science and engineering to qualify for NIH support, while NSF decision-makers viewed the same proposals as being too medically oriented. The foundation recognized this as an opportunity to expand Whitaker's philanthropic interests to fill an unmet need in the research community. It established the Biomedical Engineering Research Grants Program, which offered three-year awards that enabled many young investigators for the first time to conduct research combining engineering and the life sciences.

supporting research and education in biomedical engineering About BME Annual Report BME net ... NIBIB Search These Databases A History of Biomedical Engineering In its broadest sense, biomedical engineering has been with us for centuries, perhaps even thousands of years. In 2000, German archeologists uncovered a 3,000-year-old mummy from Thebes with a wooden prosthetic tied to its foot to serve as a big toe. Researchers said the wear on the bottom surface suggests that it could be the oldest known limb prosthesis. Egyptians also used hollow reeds to look and listen to the internal goings on of the human anatomy. In 1816, modesty prevented French physician Rene Laennec from placing his ear next to a young woman’s bare chest, so he rolled up a newspaper and listened through it, triggering the idea for his invention that led to today’s ubiquitous stethoscope. No matter what the date, biomedical engineering has provided advances in medical technology to improve human health. Biomedical engineering achievements range from early devices, such as crutches, platform shoes, wooden teeth, and the ever-changing cache of instruments in a doctor’s black bag, to more modern marvels, including pacemakers, the heart-lung machine, dialysis machines, diagnostic equipment, imaging technologies of every kind, and artificial organs, implants and advanced prosthetics. The National Academy of Engineering estimates that there are currently about 32,000 bioengineers working in various areas of health technology.

Employment About this section To Top Biomedical engineers held about 7,600 jobs in 2002. Manufacturing industries employed 38 percent of all biomedical engineers, primarily in the pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing and medical instruments and supplies industries. Many others worked for hospitals. Some also worked for government agencies or as independent consultants. Job Outlook About this section To Top Employment of biomedical engineers is expected to faster than the average for all occupations through 2012. The aging of the population and the focus on health issues will increase the demand for better medical devices and equipment designed by biomedical engineers. For example, computer-assisted surgery and molecular, cellular, and tissue engineering are being more heavily researched and are developing rapidly. In addition, the rehabilitation and orthopedic engineering specialties are growing quickly, increasing the need for biomedical engineers. Along with the demand for more sophisticated medical equipment and procedures is an increased concern for cost efficiency and effectiveness that also will boost demand for biomedical engineers. However, because of the growing interest in this field, the number of degrees granted in biomedical engineering has increased greatly, leading to the potential for competition for jobs.

A Career in Biomedical Engineering Although there have been many descriptions of the activities of a biomedical engineer, the description provided by the Biomedical Engineering Society and the American Society for Engineering Education is the best. It is hereby reprinted for those who want to know what biomedical engineers do. What is Biomedical Engineering? Biomedical engineering combines engineering expertise with medical needs for the enhancement of health care. It is a branch of engineering in which knowledge and skills are developed and applied to define and solve problems in biology and medicine. Students choose the biomedical engineering field to be of service to people; for the excitement of working with living systems; and to apply advanced technology to the complex problems of medical care. The biomedical engineer is a health care professional, a group which includes physicians, nurses, and technicians. Biomedical engineers may be called upon to design instruments and devices, to bring together knowledge from many sources to develop new procedures, or to carry out research to acquire knowledge needed to solve new problems. Specific Activities Examples of work done by biomedical engineers include: designing and constructing cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, artificial kidneys, blood oxygenators, hearts, blood vessels, joints, arms, and legs.

With ten full-time faculty and more than 270 undergraduates and nearly 70 graduate students - including 50 at the doctoral level - biomedical engineering is one of the most popular fields of study at Washington University. The educational programs are implemented via an Institute of Biological and Medical Engineering (IBME) a joint enterprise of the schools of medicine and engineering. The IBME comprises a network of more than 80 faculty involved in biomedical engineering-related research. This unique entity is a manifestation of the strong collaboration between our two schools and provides students access to a diverse array of opportunities for research training via five IBME programs. The goal of biomedical engineering is to integrate basic biology with the advanced quantitative and analytical methods of engineering. Integration is stressed not only from the single molecule level to that of the entire organism but also to take advantage of the new advances in the many disciplines involved in biomedical engineering research.

Biomedical Engineering What is a Biomedical Engineer? A Biomedical Engineer uses traditional engineering expertise to analyze and solve problems in biology and medicine, providing an overall enhancement of health care. Biomedical engineers may be called upon in a wide range of capacities: to design instruments, devices, and software, to bring together knowledge from many technical sources to develop new procedures, or to conduct research needed to solve clinical problems. In this field there is continual change and creation of new areas due to rapid advancement in technology. Specialty areas within the field of biomedical engineering include: bioinstrumentation; biomaterials; biomechanics; cellular, tissue and genetic engineering; clinical engineering; medical imaging; orthopedic surgery; rehabilitation engineering; and systems physiology. These specialty areas frequently depend on each other. Often, the biomedical engineer who works in an applied field will use knowledge gathered by biomedical engineers working in other areas.

Biomedical engineers take biological problems and seek solutions by applying the principles of engineering. It has become an increasingly popular branch of engineering and now one of the fastest growing in Ireland, encompassing the fields of medicine and biology. The interaction between engineering, biology and medicine is not new, in the past the mechanical engineer has worked with the medical profession in development of artificial limbs. As societies needs grew, and surgeons demanded more and more life support apparatus it became increasingly important for medical and engineering professionals to work together leading to the development of the specialised branch which has become know as Biomedical Engineering Biomedical engineers have a broad range of engineering knowledge and draw upon the fields of chemical, electrical, mechanical, electronic and computer engineering to design. Using this knowledge, the biomedical engineer applies engineering principles to modify and control human and animal systems, as well as for the design and manufacture of products used to monitor our physiologic functions and can often assist the medical profession in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
