ABSTRACT

Bioengineering and biological engineering are the dynamic areas of science and have evolved especially in the last 25 years, and both have now become an integral part of our daily life. The speciality areas in these disciplines are mentioned and described in the introductory pages and in Chapters 1 and 2 of this book. Each one of these disciplines includes a series of scientific and technical terms or words. This chapter defines a series of commonly used terms in these disciplines of science. This will help students, scientists, engineers, physicians, technicians, and other people to broaden their knowledge in bioengineering and biotechnology.
