Description and Table of Contents
Description
Bioengineering is the application of the physical sciences and mathematics to the study of living structures and organisms. This introduction to the field examines the physical processes and engineering aspects of a system's performance under both normal and abnormal conditions. It also demonstrates how scientists are able to design, develop and use diagnostic or artificial devices meant to measure, improve, safeguard or replace life functions.
