Page "Biomedical engineering" Paragraph 95

The Fundamentals of Engineering exam-the first ( and more general ) of two licensure examinations for most U. S. jurisdictions — does now cover biology ( although technically not BME ).

For the second exam, called the Principles and Practices, Part 2, or the Professional Engineering exam, candidates may select a particular engineering discipline's content to be tested on ; there is currently not an option for BME with this, meaning that any biomedical engineers seeking a license must prepare to take this examination in another category ( which does not affect the actual license, since most jurisdictions do not recognize discipline specialties anyway ).

However, the Biomedical Engineering Society ( BMES ) is, as of 2009, exploring the possibility of seeking to implement a BME-specific version of this exam to facilitate biomedical engineers pursuing licensure.
