Title overview

Bioengineering Fundamentals is your guide to develop the skills required of a bioengineer. You'll benefit from a wide array of examples, case studies, and activities designed to help you grasp fundamental concepts and learn problem-solving strategies specifically for bioengineering. The text combines engineering principles with technical rigor and takes a unifying, interdisciplinary approach to the conservation laws that form the foundation of bioengineering: mass, energy, charge, and momentum.

The 2nd Edition has been edited for clarity and to improve readability. New homework problems have been added to support learning through practice, and additional example problems have been included to illustrate concepts that were not fully developed in the 1st Edition.
