Bioengineering integrates physical,
chemical, or mathematical sciences and engineering principles for
the study of biology, medicine, behavior, or health. It advances
fundamental concepts, creates knowledge for the molecular to the
organ systems levels, and develops innovative biologics, materials,
processes, implants, devices, and informatics approaches for the
prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, for patient
rehabilitation, and for improving health. [National Institutes of
