Abstract
To begin, I will provide a general definition of BIOENGINEERING; “The Application of Engineering Principles and Fundamentals to Engineering Problems that Require A Basic Understanding of Biology and/or Living Systems”, which will be the basis for the remainder of this paper. After all, if engineering problem analysis or solution does not require a knowledge of biology or living systems then the existing traditional disciplines that deal specifically with non-living systems would be appropriate.
