Bioengineering (also encompases biomedical engineering and medical engineering) is an application of engineering principles and design to challenges in human health and medicine. Biomedical engineering ( BME) is the application of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field Engineering is the Discipline and Profession of applying technical and scientific Knowledge and Health is a state of complete physical mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity Medicine is the art and science of healing It encompasses a range of Health care practices evolved to maintain and restore Human Health by the Bioengineering is related to Biological Engineering, the latter including applications of engineering principles to the full spectrum of living systems, from microbes and plants to ecosystems. Biological Engineering (including Biological systems engineering and Bioengineering) is a form of Biotechnology that uses broad-based A microorganism (also spelled micro organism or micro-organism and also called a microbe) is an Organism that is Microscopic (usually Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. An ecosystem is a natural unit consisting of all plants animals and micro-organisms( Biotic factors in an area functioning together with all of the non-living physical ( Bioengineering exploits new developments in molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and neuroscience as well as sensing, electronics, and imaging, and applies them to the design of medical devices, diagnostic equipment, biocompatible materials, and other important medical needs. Molecular biology is the study of Biology at a molecular level Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes in living Organisms It deals with the Structure and function of cellular components such as Microbiology (from Greek grc μῑκρος mīkros, "small" grc βίος bios, " Life " and grc -λογία Neuroscience is a field devoted to the scientific study of the nervous system Electronics refers to the flow of charge (moving Electrons through Nonmetal conductors (mainly Semiconductors, whereas electrical Bioengineering couples engineering expertise with knowledge in biological sciences such as genetics, molecular biology, protein chemistry, cytology, neurobiology, immunology, physiology, and pharmacology. Proteins are large Organic compounds made of Amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by Peptide bonds between the Carboxyl Chemistry (from Egyptian kēme (chem meaning "earth") is the Science concerned with the composition structure and properties Neurobiology is the study of cells of the Nervous system and the organization of these cells into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior Immunology is a broad branch of biomedical Science that covers the study of all aspects of the Immune system in all Organisms It deals with Physiology (from Greek grc φύσις physis, "nature origin" and grc -λογία -logia) is the study of the mechanical physical Pharmacology (from Greek grc φάρμακον pharmakon, "drug" and grc -λογία -logia) is the study of how Drugs Bioengineers work closely with, but are not limited to, medical doctors and other health professionals to develop technical solutions to current and emerging health concerns.

Bioengineering is not limited to the medical field. Bioengineers have the ability to exploit new opportunities and solve problems within the domain of complex systems. They have a great understanding of living systems as complex systems which can be applied to many fields including entrepreneurship.

Much as other engineering disciplines also address human health (e. g. , prosthetics in mechanical engineering), bioengineers can apply their expertise to other applications of engineering and biotechnology, including genetic modification of plants and microorganisms, bioprocess engineering, and biocatalysis. In Medicine, a prosthesis (plural prostheses) is an Artificial extension that replaces a missing Body part. Mechanical Engineering is an Engineering discipline that involves the application of principles of physics for analysis Design, Manufacturing Biotechnology is Technology based on Biology, especially when used in Agriculture, Food science, and Medicine. However, the Main Fields of Bioengineering may be categorised as:

The word was invented by British scientist and broadcaster Heinz Wolf in 1954. Professor Heinz Wolff BSc FIEE FIBES FRCP(hon FRSA (born 29 April 1928) is a German - British scientist and television and radio presenter Year 1954 ( MCMLIV) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1954 Gregorian calendar) [1]

"Bioengineering" is also the term used to describe the use of vegetation in civil engineering construction. Vegetation is a general term for the plant life of a region it refers to the Ground cover provided by plants Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built In the fields of Architecture and Civil engineering, construction is a process that consists of the Building or assembling of Infrastructure

The term bioengineering covers a range of applications, including surface soil protection, slope stabilisation, watercourse and shoreline protection, windbreaks, vegetation barriers including noise barriers and visual screens, and the ecological enhancement of an area.

Vegetation can affect the stability of slopes by modifying the hydrological regime in the soil. Soil, often typeset as SOiL, is a four piece rock band from Chicago Illinois United States founded by Shaun Glass Tom Schofield Tim King and Adam Zadel The root systems of woody perennial species are considered one of the most beneficial types of vegetation for bioengineering, due to the ability of the strong woody root systems to penetrate the soil at depth, providing an anchoring system to the substrate, whilst binding the soil particles together, thus increasing the shear strength of the slope. In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. Roots of vegetation also decrease the soil water content by water uptake through the root system. ROOT is an object-oriented program and library developed by CERN. The higher the rate of evapotranspiration of the plant, the more water will be required, so larger plants with high rates of evapotranspiration are favoured from a bioengineering perspective.

Species often used in bioengineering applications include willow, poplar, grasses and native shrub species. Grass is the common word that generally describes Monocotyledonous green Plants The family Gramineae ( Poaceae) are the "true grasses" and include A shrub or Bush is a horticultural rather than strictly botanical category of Woody plant, distinguished from a Tree
