Bioengineering

Biological engineering (also biosystems engineering and bioengineering) is a broad-based engineeringdiscipline that deals with bio-molecular and molecular processes, product design, sustainability and analysis of biological systems. Generally, bioengineering encompasses other engineering disciplines when they are applied to living organisms(e.g., prostheticsin mechanical engineering). Bioengineering is often synonymous with biomedical engineering, though in the strict sense the term can be applied more broadly to include food engineeringand agricultural engineering. Biotechnologyalso falls under the purview of the broad umbrella of bioengineering.
