Now in its 2nd Edition, Bioengineering Fundamentals combines engineering principles with technical rigour and a problem-solving focus, ultimately taking a unifying, interdisciplinary approach to the conservation laws that form the foundation of bioengineering: mass, energy, charge, and momentum. The text emphasises fundamental concepts, practical skill development, and problem-solving strategies while incorporating a wide array of examples and case studies. This edition has been updated and expanded with new and clarified content, plus new homework and example problems.
