Biomedical Engineering- is the application of engineering
principles and design concepts to medicine and biology.
This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and
medicine: It combines the design and problem solving skills
of engineering with medical and biological sciences to
advance healthcare treatment, including diagnosis,
monitoring, treatment and therapy.
Uses the principles and processes involved in all aspects of
engineering and apply them to design and develop
products for living organisms, including humans.
