Biomedical engineering will help us go beyond the antibiotics, antivirals, and steroids that dominated last century’s medical arsenal. From drug-carrying nanorobots to genetic and tissue engineering, biomedical engineers build the technologies required for state-of-the-art medicine. According to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, some of the biggest trends in biomedical engineering are tissue engineering, wearable devices, nanorobots and genetic editing.
