Textbook:
• Biomedical Engineering Handbook by Joseph D. Bronzino
(2004).
Biomedical Engineering (BME)
• Define as a basic research-oriented activity closely related
to biotechnology and genetic engineering , i.e., the
modification of animal or plants cells to improve and/or
develop new microorganisms for beneficial ends.
• Biomedical engineering: Is the application of engineering
principles and design concepts to medicine and biology
for healthcare purposes (e.g. diagnostic or therapeutic).
• 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, and therapy.
Biomedical Engineering Discipline
1- Transport phenomena :
To monitor, measure, and model
biochemical process.
2- Biomechanics:
Study of the mechanical laws relating to the
movement or structure of living organisms ,
how the muscles , bones, tendons and ligaments
work together to produce movement.
3- Biomaterials:
Design and development of bio-
implantable material.
4- Biosensors:
Detection of biologic events and their
conversion to electrical signals.

Clinical Engineering:
• The management, maintenance, support ,
development, and quality assurance of medical
equipment as part of safe, cost effective and
sustainable healthcare delivery.
• A Clinical Engineer is a professional who
supports and advances patient care by
applying engineering and managerial skills to
healthcare technology.
