Description

Bioengineering is attracting many high quality students.

This invaluable book has been written for beginning students of bioengineering, and is aimed at instilling a sense of engineering in them.Engineering is invention and designing things that do not exist in nature for the benefit of humanity.

Invention can be taught by making inventive thinking a conscious part of our daily life.

This is the approach taken by the authors of this book.

Each author discusses an ongoing project, and gives a sample of a professional publication.

Students are asked to work through a sequence of assignments and write a report.

Almost everybody soon realizes that more scientific knowledge is needed, and a strong motivation for the study of science is generated.

The teaching of inventive thinking is a new trend in engineering education.

Bioengineering is a good field with which to begin this revolution in engineering education, because it is a youthful, developing interdisciplinary field.
