Introduction to Biomedical Engineering

Introduction to Biomedical Engineering is a comprehensive survey text for biomedical engineering courses. It is the most widely adopted text across the BME course spectrum, valued by instructors and students alike for its authority, clarity and encyclopedic coverage in a single volume.Biomedical engineers need to understand the wide range of topics that are covered in this text, including basic mathematical modeling; anatomy and physiology; electrical engineering, signal processing and instrumentation; biomechanics; biomaterials science and tissue engineering; and medical and engineering ethics.Enderle and Bronzino tackle these core topics at a level appropriate for senior undergraduate students and graduate students who are majoring in BME, or studying it as a combined course with a related engineering, biology or life science, or medical/pre-medical course.NEW: Each chapter in the 3rd Edition is revised and updated, with new chapters and materials on compartmental analysis, biochemical engineering, transport phenomena, physiological modeling and tissue engineering. Chapters on peripheral topics have been removed and made avaialblw online, including optics and computational cell biologyNEW: many new worked examples within chaptersNEW: more end of chapter exercises, homework problemsNEW: image files from the text available in PowerPoint format for adopting instructorsReaders benefit from the experience and expertise of two of the most internationally renowned BME educatorsInstructors benefit from a comprehensive teaching package including a fully worked solutions manual A complete introduction and survey of BMENEW: new chapters on compartmental analysis, biochemical engineering, and biomedical transport phenomenaNEW: revised and updated chapters throughout the book feature current research and developments in, for example biomaterials, tissue engineering, biosensors, physiological modeling, and biosignal processingNEW: more worked examples and end of chapter exercisesNEW: image files from the text available in PowerPoint format for adopting instructorsAs with prior editions, this third edition provides a historical look at the major developments across biomedical domains and covers the fundamental principles underlying biomedical engineering analysis, modeling, and designBonus chapters on the web include: Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology, Genomics and Bioinformatics, and Computational Cell Biology and Complexity Read more
