DESCRIPTION:
There are many creative and useful features to the text: the figures and illustrations provide much value to understanding the material, the problem sets offer both conceptual and quantitative review of the material, and the 'Key Concepts and Definitions' and 'Useful Links' sections at the end of each chapter are very practical for a student new to the field of BME. Its breadth and scope will stimulate all readers. This textbook will certainly be adopted by many introductory biomedical engineering courses due to its meaningful or
Updates throughout highlight important advances made over recent years, including iPS cells, microRNA, nanomedicine, imaging technology, biosensors, and drug delivery systems, giving students a modern description of the various subfields of biomedical engineering. The essential molecular biology, cellular biology, and human physiology background is included for students to understand the context in which biomedical engineers work. Finally, students can enjoy an expanded set of leader profiles in biomedical engineering within the book, showcasing the broad range of career paths open to students who make biomedical engineering their calling.. The second edition of this popular introductory undergraduate textbook uses examples, applications, and profiles of biomedical engineers to show students the relevance of the theory and how it can be used to solve real problems in human medicine. Over two hundred quantitative and qualitative exercises, many new to this edition, help consolidate learning, whilst a solutions manual, password-protected for instructors, is available online

PLOM said Gap Nearly Bridged!. Designed as a textbook for university (or college) it starts with recommended course emphasis suggestions - very interesting. Because it is aiming at students the text is logical and concise. As is almost traditional in such texts, the field is defined and mapped - an insecurity within the profession I find irritating but is useful given the intended audience.The entire volume is divided into three major sections, Mollecular and Cellular Principles, Physiological Principles, Biomedical Engineering, each with . Great Cheap textbook, no page numbers electronically Rhea Novak I bought the kindle edition because it saved me 30 dollars. The kindle application for my computer was super easy to load and is also really easy to use.However, this textbook electronically is al little frustrating. There are no page numbers and the picture (and therefore sometime lengthy descriptions) sometimes interupt your sentence of text for a few "pages" before starting up again. There is no way I can find to view by page and therefore have the picture and captions in the proper place (out of the way) . Ruthie said a good introduction to get you interested in the feild. A very interesting textbook. It also describes all the science you need to know to understand the different aspects of Biomedical Engineering. I think I will keep this book after the class, it was very informative for such a petite thing. this finds a way to take a very difficult topic and describe it to sophomores in a way that makes us interested.
