Summary & Explanation

Biomedical Engineering is a branch of engineering that combines the studies of biology, engineering, and medicine to essentially create a better quality of life for humans. There are many subdivisions of Biomedical Engineering; these subdivisions include Biomedical Electronics, Biomaterials, Computational Biology, Genetic Engineering, Medical Imaging, and Bionanotechnology. Some life-saving technologies that have been created by Biomedical engineers are the Pacemaker, prosthetics, surgical robots, and many more. Without Biomedical engineers, having a heart attack could lead to certain death, but because of life-saving technologies, like the Pacemaker, your chances of surviving greatly increase.

Electrical Engineering is one of the newer branches of engineering, dating back to the late 19th century. This branch of engineering works with the technology of electricity. It is concerned with the study, design, application, and testing systems and devices from an electrical standpoint. They design these systems using basic and complex components such as magnets, batteries, coils, capacitors, resistors, inductors, switches, diodes, and transistors.
