Biomechanical engineering

Biomechanics is the study of biological systems such as the human body, combined with the study of mechanics, or mechanical applications. Using the skills learned from biology, engineering and physics to research and develop for health care, such as organs that have been made from artificial materials, or new advances with prosthetic limbs. The creation of biomaterial, which is a fake material that can be integrated into living tissue or can live in sync with biological material, is one of the biggest advances in medicine to this day. Those in this field might also hold the job of not only installing, but also adjusting, maintain, repairing, and providing technical help for all the biomaterial.

Biomechanical engineering is a bioengineering subdiscipline, which applies principles of mechanical engineering to biological systems and stems from the scientific discipline of biomechanics. Topics of interest in the field include biomedical engineering and agricultural engineering.

Specific fields of Biomechanical Engineering

1.   Neural Engineering

a.    This field accesses the brain interface by using sensors attached to the scalp. It picks up on all the different signals and gets mapped.

2.   Wearable Technology

a.    New advancements include wearable scanners that allow different required measurements to better monitor someone’s health

3.   Tissue Engineering

a.    Whole parts of a body can be recovered in skin made from synthetic growing material, allowing those who had burn trauma, or other trauma to regain skin.
