Part 2

Educational Requirements

 Students should take the most challenging science, math, and English courses available in high school.

All biomedical engineers have at least a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Many have advanced graduate degrees as well. Courses of study include a sound background in mechanical, chemical, or industrial engineering and specialized biomedical training. Most programs last from four to six years and all states require biomedical engineers to pass examinations and be licensed.
