Errorless Answers.
The application of science and math to solve problems correct answers Engineering
Involves design, manufacturing, inspection and maintenance of machinery, equipment and
components as well as control systems and instruments for monitoring their status and
performance. This includes vehicles, contractions and farm machinery, industrial installations
and a wide variety of tools and devices correct answers Mechanical Engineering
the practice of designing equipment, systems and processes for refining raw materials and for
mixing, compounding and processing chemicals to make valuable products correct answers
Chemical Engineering
Involves design, testing, manufacturing, construction, control, monitoring and inspection of
electrical and electronic devices, machinery and systems. These systems vary in scale from
microscopic circuits to national power generation and transmission systems. correct answers
Electrical Engineering
the practice of designing systems, equipment and devices for use in the practice of medicine. It
also involves working closely with medical practitioners, including doctors, nurses, technicians,
therapists and researchers, in order to determine, understand and meet their requirements for
systems, equipment and devices. correct answers Biomedical Engineering
When did Biomedical Engineering get started? correct answers 1960s
what two terms are fairly interchangeable between academic departments? correct answers
Biomedical engineering and bioengineering
What are the sub-disciplines that use chemical engineering? correct answers Biological
engineering, Biomolecular engineering, bioprocess engineering, biochemical engineering
What are the sub-disciplines in agricultural engineering? correct answers Biological engineering
What the name of the discipline associated wit the exploitation of biological processes for
industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms to produce
antibiotics, hormones, etc. correct answers Biotechnology
What are the two primary areas of the multidisciplinary nature of biomedical engineering?
correct answers careful analysis and study of the operation of body systems, development of new
technologies for study or repair of the body
Example: multidisciplinary nature of biomedical engineering - Development of soft contact
lenses correct answers Requires working knowledge of physics (refraction and mechanics),
, anatomy, physiology (tear production and circulation), materials science, immunology (body's
response to foreign materials), and math (evaluation of oxygen diffusion).
Subjects important to biomedical engineering? correct answers Basic science : Physics and
chemistry, quantitative systems physiology, mathematical analyses, domain specific knowledge
(i.e. electrical circuits, mechanics, chemical processes, etc.)
Math models to help engineers understand and predict system behavior (i.e.pharmacokinetic
models, use of math models of hip mechanics to predict stresses and strains the artificial hip
must endure). Mathematical models of blood flow in small vessels guides the development of
tissue-engineered blood vessels and stents. Engineers are now making models of the networks of
chemical reactions that occur within cells. correct answers physiological modeling
One of the oldest and richest parts of BME. Hospitals have lots of machines to determine state of
the patient (i.e. blood pressure monitors, pacemakers, arrhythmia detectors, ECG machines).
Latest implantable devices stimulate electrical activity in Parkinson's. Future devices will deliver
drugs, monitor local tissue states and send detailed information on internal function outside of
the body. correct answers biomedical instrumentation
Revolutionized medicine. CT, MRI and ultrasound imaging. Involves both instrumentation and
signal/imaging processing. Most current methods provide information on tissue anatomy, but
imaging techniques of the future will also provide info on the function of tissues. correct answers
Biomedical Imaging
Determine role of mechanical forces on human functions. Some engineers study role of forces
(i.e. exercise, work conditions or activities of normal life) on tissue physiology or human
performance. Others are interested in protecting humans from mechanical industry by designing
seat belts or helmets. Still others determine how diseases affect the mechanical performance of
tissues such as the heart or the ability of humans to move after loss of mechanical functions in
bones or muscles. Design of mechanical replacements of hips, joints, heart valves and organs.
Cellular mechanicsis a growing field (i.e. mechanics of cell movement through circulation,
microfilaments during cell division, mechanotransduction). correct answers Biomechanics
what is a growing field under biomechanics? correct answers Cellular mechanicsis (i.e.
mechanics of cell movement through circulation, microfilaments during cell division,
mechanotransduction).
Emphasizes chemical engineering principles for design and analysis. E.g.Pharmacokinetic
analysis to give drugs safely and effectively. Design of drug-delivery systems and to create new
treatments using tissue and cellular engineering. Chemical engineering principles applied to
biomaterial design, nano-biotechnology and genomic analysis. correct answers Bio-molecular
engineering
Systems-level analyses to chemical reactions, proteins and cells to understand and predict
biological outcomes. Also involves development of efficient computer methods for examining
biological databases to find and sort new biological information. Development of new tools to
