Bio Engineering

Bioengineering is the application of concepts and methods of physics and mathematics to solve problems in life sciences, using engineering's own analytical and synthetically methodologies. In this content, while traditional engineering applies physical and mathematical sciences to analyze, design and manufacture inanimate tools, structures and processes, bioengineering uses the same sciences to study many aspects of living organisms. It is usually used to analyze and solve problems related to human health.

Biological Engineering is differentiated from its roots of pure biology or classical engineering in the following way. Biological studies follow a reductionist approach in viewing a system on its smallest possible scale which naturally leads toward tools such as functional genomics. Engineering approach by using classical design perspectives, are constructionist, building new devices, approaches, and technologies from component concepts. Biological engineering uses both of these methods in concert relying on reductionist approaches to define the fundamental units which are then commingled to generate something new.  Although engineered bio systems have been used to manipulate information, construct materials, process chemicals, produce energy, provide food, and help maintain or enhance human health and our environment, our ability to quickly and reliably engineer biological systems that behave as expected remains less well developed than our mastery over mechanical and electrical systems.

The engineering stream also address living organisms (e.g., prosthetics in mechanical engineering), the term biological engineering can be applied more broadly to include agricultural engineering and biotechnology. Almost all the old agricultural engineering departments in universities over the world have rebranded themselves as agricultural and biological engineering or agricultural and biosystems engineering. Biomedical engineering is called as Bioengineering, and is a rapidly developing field with fluid categorization. The Main Fields of Bioengineering may be categorized as:

• Bioprocess Engineering consists of  Bioprocess Design, Biocatalysis, Bioseparation, Bioinformatics, Bio-energy
• Genetic Engineering consists of Synthetic Biology, Horizontal gene transfer.
• Cellular Engineering consists of Cell Engineering, Tissue Culture Engineering, and Metabolic engineering.
• Biomedical Engineering consists of Biomedical technology, Biomedical Diagnostics, Biomedical Therapy, Biomechanics, Biomaterials.
