Bioengineering is as broad as its name implies but there are areas that are on the rise for those considering the field—and a changing education to go with it. University of Illinois bioengineering lecturer and chief academic advisor Jennifer Amos says many at her university go straight into the industry through medical or prosthetic design.

Context Explanation

Our 2021-2022 division continues to expand, thrive and to make meaningful contributions to scientific discovery, engineering, industry, education, and diversity. Bioengineering is a complex field. As the blending of technology and medicine grows, so to does the bioengineering field. Today's bioengineers work on various innovative tech, including 3D printing of biomaterials, genetic engineering, cybernetic medical devices, robotic biomechanics, and neural engineeering, just to name a few.

Final Conclusion

The Edward Grood Interdisciplinary Team Science Medal in Bioengineering seeks to recognize a team of scientists & engineers who have researched bioengineering. Of course, the ASME Bioengineering Division sponsors activities outside of SB3C. One of our most important activities is sponsoring the ASME Journal of Biomechanical Engineering (JBME) and ASME Journal of Medical Devices (JMD). This year, we are pleased to announce that C. Ross Ethier has joined the JBME family as co-Editor-in-Chief with Victor Barocas. Our enormous thanks go to Beth ...
