Describe biomedical engineering.

Description should include

• a definition of biomedical engineering as the applications of engineering principles (e.g., chemical, electrical, mechanical, computer) to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes
• the role of imagination and creativity in design and innovation in the field of biomedical engineering (e.g., robotics, prosthetics, personalized medicine).

Process/Skill Questions:

• What are examples of biomedical devices or innovations?
• What skill sets are needed to solve biomedical engineering problems?
• What are the ethical and legal issues associated with biomedical engineering?
