Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering technology to medical research and equipment. Contributions to this important and growing area by mechanical engineers include the design and manufacture of biomedical devices ranging from prostheses to micromechanical blood flow sensors and artificial heart valves. Application of mechanical engineering fundamentals to questions in biophysics also contributes to improvements in medical diagnosis and treatment.听
