Introduction to Biomedical Engineering

by John Enderle Ph.D., Joseph Bronzino, Susan M. Blanchard

Overview

Since publication in 1999, the first edition of Introduction to Biomedical Engineering has dominated the market of biomedical engineering texts. Under the direction of John Enderle, Susan Blanchard and Joe Bronzino, leaders in the field have contributed chapters on the most relevant subjects for biomedical engineering students. These chapters coincide with courses offered in all biomedical engineering programs so that it can be used at different levels for a variety of courses of this evolving field.

Both Enderle and Blanchard are on the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the body that sets the standard for US-based engineering programs. These standards have been used as a guideline for examples and pedagogy.

New to this edition: Computational Biology, Medical Imaging, Genomics and Bioinformatics.

About the Author

John Enderle is among the best known biomedical engineers in the world. He is Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE EMB Magazine (Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, the key electrical systems-oriented BME society). An electrical engineer by training, he is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a past-president of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, and a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). He is also an ABET program evaluator for bioengineering programs and a member of the American Society for Engineering Education.

Joseph Bronzino is one of the most renowned biomedical engineers in the world. He is a former president of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, and well-known educator. He is editor-in-chief of the Biomedical Engineering Handbook from CRC Press, and is currently editor of the Academic Press Series in Biomedical Engineering. He is the Vernon Roosa Professor of Applied Science at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.

Susan Blanchard is among the best known biomedical engineers in the world. She is the outgoing president of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology society.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

New, revised edition of the most comprehensive book for engineering students.

Editorial Reviews

"...this is certainly the most comprehensive textbook of its kind, and is recommended not only for undergraduate BME students but also for BME engineers in the industry or at the graduate level in academia, as a reference book for a quick dive into new topics, or for an up-to-date survey of recent developments in this field." Amit Gefen, BioMedical Engineering

"Provides the most thorough review of concepts from biomaterials and tissue engineering to bioinstrumentation and medical imaging." Armando Perraioli, Italy, in the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine
