Bioengineering


Question 1 : A bioengineer is responsible for the development of useful devices to replace human tissue and bone. Such items include limbs and joints, replacement heart valves, the bionic ear, and artificial hearts. The bioengineer also designs surgical equipment for use during replacement surgery - not only developing the component, but also choosing a material that will not suffer greatly from fatigue, corrode or be rejected by body tissues.
