Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering incorporates many different engineering disciplines, but focuses on:

• The Human Body

• Mechanical Engineering

• Medical Research

• Biology

When designing an artificial limb, biomedical engineers must design the structure to do which of the following?

• A. Be similar to a normal human limb

• B. Weigh a similar amount

• C. Maintain the best quality of life for the patient

• D. Minimize strain on other parts of the person’s body

• E. All of the above

Which of the following is not one of the main focuses of Biomedical Engineering?

• A. Biomechanics

• B. Neuroengineering

• C. Biomaterials

• D. Tissue Engineering

Biomedical engineering is considered multidisciplinary, which means they will generally work with people in all of these areas except:

• Electrical Engineering

• Computer Science

• Mechanical Engineering

• Petroleum Engineering

• Biology and Life Sciences

Which of the following is not part of the anatomy of the human hand?

• A. Bones

• B. Muscles

• C. Tendinitis

• D. Joints

A prototype is:

• The description of the problem that an engineer or designer is trying to solve

• The final product created after an engineer goes through all the steps of the engineering design process

• A document listing the features that must be included in the final product

• A working version of a created solution so that an engineer test whether it is a good solution

Biomedical Engineering (BME) is the application of engineering principles and methods to solve medical and biological problems.
