History of Bio-Medical Engineering
Background Of Bio-Medical Engineering According to Biotech's Life Science Dictionary, biomedical engineering is described as the use of engineering technology instrumentation and methods to solve medical problems. Applications in this field include efforts to better understand human physiology and attempts to manufacture artificial limbs and organs. All of the above disciplines require knowledge and expertise in two specific areas: biology and engineering science. For this reason, they will all be considered to belong to biotechnology. 'Biomedical Engineering' may be defined as the application of engineering to medicine and the life sciences. Since 'engineering' may be defined in turn as applied science (especially the physical sciences and mathematics), this is a pretty broad definition. The field is in fact extremely diverse. One way to subdivide it is by the area of engineering or physical science being applied: Chemical engineering, chemistry Computer science El...
