Engineering is the application of science to problems related to the needs of society.
Traditionally, engineering education builds on the sciences, particularly chemistry, physics and mathematics with general concepts applicable to all engineering. Undergraduate engineering education also includes development of computing skills, refinement or oral and written communication and laboratory experience. Biomedical Engineering differs in its inclusion of biology as a basic science, and its focus on problems in biology and medicine. It is the discipline that links engineering with the biomedical sciences and medical technology. This unique combination and the integration of various components, leads to sub-specialties such as biomechanics, biomaterials, biomedical instrumentation, medical imaging, biosensors, biomedical signal analysis, tissue engineering, biosystems modeling, signal processing, bioinformatics and artificial organs.
