We’ve discussed the four main branches of engineering but there are so many other fields doing important work, so today we’re going to explore a few of them. In this episode we’ll explore some of the history and fundamentals of...

Biomedical engineering is a broad major that encompasses mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials engineering, biology, computer science, and computer engineering. It's about using all these...

A student interested in helping people and improving the lives of others through better health care and medicine has a lot of career options, and one such option is in the field of engineering! Biomedical engineering combines biology,...

What kind of engineer works on buildings, roads, and bridges? Are there many other types of engineers? What healthcare engineers are there? What is the difference between a scientist and an engineer? Do scientists and engineers work...

What does it take to engineer a smart bandaid? Biomedical engineer Ali Khademhosseini...

One hundred sixty years after the invention of the needle and syringe, we're still using them to deliver vaccines; it's time to evolve. Biomedical engineer Mark Kendall demos the Nanopatch, a one-centimeter-by-one-centimeter square...

Engineers are joining forces with designers, scientists and doctors at Drexel University to produce new biomedical textiles, and the resulting smart clothes are not only fashionably functional, but could also be life savers. With support...

Materials engineering (or materials science and engineering) is about the design, testing, processing, and discovery of new materials. Materials engineers will cover the 4 main classes of materials...

Naphysah Duncan is a biomedical engineer and former rhythmic gymnast. Naphysah and her team design parts for spinal implants, which will enable people with injured or deformed spines to move more freely and naturally. Naphysa is...

In this project you will use the Engineering Design Process to test and design your own microfluidic device design and test how the design and thickness of the channels impacts the ability for liquid to flow through the microfluidic...

In this video I discuss whether you should get further education beyond a bachelor's degree. There are many types of further schooling you can go into including a master's and phd, medical school, nursing school, pharmacy...

Robots are designed for speed and precision -- but their rigidity has often limited how they're used. In this illuminating talk, biomedical engineer Giada Gerboni shares the latest developments in "soft robotics," an emerging field that...

Afsaneh Rabiei is a materials engineer at North Carolina State University who, with support from the National Science Foundation, has developed metal foam that's lighter but much stronger than ""real"" metal. It's designed for use in...

With support from the National Science Foundation, biomedical engineer Bin He and his team at the University of Minnesota have created a brain-computer interface with the goal of helping people with disabilities, such as paralysis,...

New biomedical textiles show potential of smart, human-centered service systems



Description: Engineers are joining forces with designers, scientists and doctors at Drexel University to produce new biomedical...

After decades of research and billions spent in clinical trials, we still have a problem with cancer drug delivery, says biomedical engineer Elizabeth Wayne. Chemotherapy kills cancer -- but it kills the rest of your body, too. Instead...

Materials engineering (or materials science and engineering) is about the design, testing, processing, and discovery of new materials. Materials engineers will cover the 4 main classes of materials in college including metals, ceramics,...
