Bioengineering is the application of engineering practices and principles to analyse and design new processes, tools and techniques to bridge gaps across biological and healthcare challenges. Bioengineers are responsible for some of the most innovative healthcare solutions, including prosthetics and biomaterial implants, regenerative medicine against incurable diseases and robot-assisted surgery.
