Many engineering students suffer through their basic course work (math, physics, biology, chemistry) with the recurring thought, "When am I going to see the relevance of all this to real engineering work?" The engineering sciences (e.g., thermodynamics, fluid mechanics) begin to reveal how some of these basic courses apply to our day-to-day lives (the heat pump in our home, the engine in our car). This chapter will begin, or perhaps continue, the process of applying these concepts to biological systems. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
