Biological engineering (also biosystems engineering
and bioengineering) is a broad-based engineering discipline
that deals with bio-molecular and molecular processes, product
design, sustainability and analysis of biological systems. Generally,
bioengineering encompasses other engineering disciplines when
they are applied to living organisms (e.g. prosthetics in mechanical
engineering). Bioengineering is often synonymous with biomedical
engineering, though in the strict sense the term can be applied
more broadly to include food engineering and agricultural engineering.
