Biomedical EngineeringWhat is it? 9/10/14 Announcements CBSA Mentoring program is still looking for Juniors and Seniors. Email [email protected] if interested Thursday Design Meetings TBD- Submit your availability by Friday! CU doesn’t have a Biomed program… What Next? Chemical and Biological Engineering Biomaterials: Figuring out what materials can and cannot be implanted into a body Cellular, Tissue and Genetic Engineering: Utilize the anatomy and chemistry of cells and genes to design solutions to disease and medical problems. Mechanical Engineering Biomechanics: Developing systems to mimic natural biological and medical processes Clinical Engineering: Working within hospitals to update, maintain and improve equipment Orthopaedic Bioengineering: Analyzing and developing systems to replace existing bodily systems Rehabilitation Engineering: Developing aids for people with various disabilities. Electrical Engineers and Computer Scientists Bioinstrumentation: Using electronics and measurement techniques to develop medical devices. Clinical Engineering: Working within hospitals to update, maintain and improve equipment and software Medical Imaging: Integrating sound, radiation, magnetism, etc. with high speed electronic data processing, analysis and display to generate an image. Biomechanics and IPHY Biomechanics: Study of motion within the body and the physiological effects. Orthopaedic Bioengineering: Studying the load forces, shape, and lubrication necessary in the body’s joints. Rehabilitation Engineering: How we can use devices to best mimic the body MCDB, Biology Biomaterials: Figuring out what materials can and cannot be implanted into a body Cellular, Tissue and Genetic Engineering: Utilize the anatomy and chemistry of cells and genes to design solutions to disease and medical problems. Systems Physiology: Compiling information to gain a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the function of living organisms.
