Introduction To Bioengineering by Robert L Sah, Ghassan S Kassab, David A Gough, Pin Tong, Geert W Schmid-schoenbein, Bernard O Palsson, Lanping Amy Sung, Yuen-cheng Fung, Marcos Intaglietta, Shu Chien (Paperback, 2001)
Bioengineering is attracting many high quality students. This book has been written for beginning students of bioengineering, and is aimed at instilling a sense of engineering in them. Engineering is invention and designing things that do not exist in nature for the benefit of humanity. Invention can be taught by making inventive thinking a conscious part of our daily life. This is the approach taken by the authors of this book. Each author discusses an ongoing project, and gives a sample of a professional publication. Students are asked to work through a sequence of assignments and write a report. Almost everybody soon realizes that more scientific knowledge is needed, and a strong motivation for the study of science is generated. The teaching of inventive thinking is a new trend in engineering education. Bioengineering is a good field with which to begin this revolution in engineering education, because it is a youthful, developing interdisciplinary field.
