Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering principles to the fields of biology and health care. Bioengineers work with doctors, therapists and researchers to develop systems, equipment and devices in order to solve clinical problems. Biomedical engineers have developed a number of life-changing and life-saving technologies such as:
Prosthetics, such as dentures and artificial limb replacements.- Surgical devices and systems, such as robotic and laser surgery
- Radiation therapy using particle beams and X-rays.
In this type of field you need to know science, technology, engineering and mathematics. you also have to get exposed to the physical sciences like, chemistry and physics. Its important to know the interactions between the different types of tissues and how they form the material. You need to know about Newton's Laws. -DJ
Our specific question for you is, why exactly would we need to know about Newton's Laws in order to become a Bioengineer?

A lot of physics principles go into developing prosthetic limbs and plenty of other medical technology. For example, when designing a prosthetic leg, you have to take into account the weight of the person, and the tension during each step in order for the leg to perform at its best and not break or become damaged.
