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. Then the study focuses on a specialty area of engineering. Undergraduate engineering education also includes development of computing skills, refinement of 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. Biomedical engineering is the discipline that links engineering with the biomedical sciences and medical technology.
