What is the role of biology in the field of biomedical engineering?

[The Blind Watchmaker]

I am a first year undergrad student majoring Biomedical Engineering. Though I may be in an engineering course, my forte is not exactly physics, but biology. In fact, one of the reasons I got accepted to my university is due to the medal from the International Biology Olympiad (IBO). I will be mainly utilizing this forum to ask for homework questions. However, I can probably contribute to the biology forum too (provided there is one).
