Biomedical engineering

by W. Mark Saltzman

Biomedical engineeringBiomedical engineering can be defined in various ways, but in the broadest sense, it refers to all the technologies that contribute to the healing of human diseases. In recent years, I have been paying attention to biotechnology, especially in the fields of science and engineering, because I believe that the development of science and technology, which is bioengineering, is making a great contribution to the advancement of medicine and the prolongation of human life. And a number of excellent graduates who majored in biomedical engineering are emerging. In many Korean engineering colleges, there is an active movement to make bioengineering as the basis of convergence science, and the need for systematic bioengineering education is increasing day by day. Particularly, it is a very interesting subject for engineers who are interested in bioengineering field how to understand and interpret many contents of medicine by engineering knowledge such as chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or material engineering. br This text provides a unique perspective for readers as a convergence study in terms of presenting new learning methods to medical students who have expertise in engineering. In particular, it shows how traditional engineering techniques such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, separation processes, electrical engineering, reaction engineering, and material engineering can be used as tools for understanding and interpreting human physiology. The structure and description of these materials will help engineers understand biodiversity in more familiar terms.
