Transcription de la présentation
  1. Biomedical Engineering Senior MESA Day

  2. What is Biomedical Engineering? • Application of engineering technology to fields of medicine and biology. • Combines design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences • Improve the quality of life by developing and advancing medical care and technology • Emerging field • Interdisciplinary – engineers, physicians, nurses, therapists, biologists

  3. Major Specialty Areas • Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals • Use “biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof.” • Tissue Engineering • Ability to take cells out of a person and keep them alive in culture for an extended period of time in order to create artificial organs • Genetic Engineering • Direct manipulation of an organism’s genes • Pharmaceutical Engineering • Development of pharmaceutical products such as drugs

  4. Medical Devices • Used in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease • Medical imaging enables clinicians to directly or indirectly view things not visible in plain sight • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) • Projection radiography such as x-rays and CT scans • Ultrasound • Bioinstrumentation uses electronics (computers) and measurement principles • Nervous System: EMG – muscle / EEG – brain • Cardiovascular: ECG – heart/blood pressure Top picture: MRI of human head Bottom picture: a pump for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion

  5. Artificial Organs and Implants are used to replace and act as a missing biological structure • Pacemaker • Artificial heart • Corrective lenses • Ocular prosthetics • Cochlear implants • Dental implants • Biomechanics • Uses mechanics applied to biological or medical problems • Joint or limb replacements • Design ergonomic devices • Study disease mechanisms Internal part of a cochlear implant

  6. Clinical Engineering • Deals with actual implementation of medical equipment and technologies in hospitals and other clinical settings • Health care systems management • Overall hospital planning and development • Safety and risk management

  7. Activity 6: Biomedical Engineering Videos • Introduction to Biomedical Engineering • http://www.allthingsscience.com/video/54/Biomedical-Engineering • Engineering Profiles • Jennifer • Kim
