Combining traditional engineering expertise with an understanding of biological processes, biomedical engineering technology degree holders work with physicians, therapists and other technicians in the design, construction, implementation and maintenance of sophisticated healthcare equipment and lifesaving devices.

BMETs, also called Biomedical Electronics Technicians, Biomedical Equipment Technicians, Clinical Engineers, Biomedical Product Development Engineers, and Biomedical Engineers work in many diverse environments such as hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, medical laboratories, universities, and research institutions.

Biomedical Engineering Technician responsibilities include designing, constructing, implementing, and maintaining:

• Artificial devices that replace or support body functions, such as pacemakers, prosthetic devices and artificial organs.
• Therapeutic products, such as healthcare-related lasers, and systems that perform critical functions such as tissue fusion, insulin delivery and muscle repair.
• Sensors for various patient-monitoring devices and bioelectric and telemetry equipment.
• Medical imaging instrumentation such as magnetic resonance and x-ray tools.

BMET career paths include:

• Medical instrumentation
• Image processing and archiving
• Biosignal processing
• Biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering
• Bioinformatics and telemedicine
• Biomedical computing

Biomedical Engineering Technology - Bachelor of Science**
DeVry's BMET program prepares graduates with competencies in bioengineering processes and tools. The curriculum is applications-oriented in the areas of physiological bioinstrumentation and informatics, and provides graduates with the knowledge and skills needed to function effectively in multidisciplinary teams, adapt to changes in technical environments throughout their careers and progress in their professional responsibilities.

*The Biomedical Engineering Technology BS Degree program is currently available as an on campus program. Locations include: AZ (Phoenix), CA (Fremont, Pomona, Sacramento), FL (Miramar, Orlando), GA (Decatur), IL (Addison, Chicago, Tinley Park), MO (Kansas City), NJ (North Brunswick), OH (Columbus), PA (Ft. Washington), TX (Houston, Irving), WA (Federal Way).
** ABET accreditation is granted to the Dactur, GA and Phoenix, AZ campus programs.

Biotechnology - Associate of Science
Keiser University's Associate of Science degree in Biotechnology trains students in many disciplines including genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology. Graduates will possess the skills to perform laboratory tests using stardardized laboratory procedures.
