Biological Engineers are another type of engineering discipline that is closer to the sciences. Biological engineers have a heavy foundation in biology and chemistry, as well as studying subjects similar to mechanical engineers such as fluid dynamics. Undergraduate students can major in biological engineering and often pursue advanced degrees. Academic research and industry careers, particularly in pharmaceuticals, are both common paths for biological engineers. Their work often focuses on subjects like data science, bioinformatics, computational biology, tissue engineering, and genetics.
