Understanding the Human Machine: A Primer for Bioengineering

Biomedical engineering basics with humor and exercises.

If you're delving into the realm of biomedical engineering, especially at the undergrad level, this book strikes a balance between educational and engaging. Max E. Valentinuzzi presents complex concepts with a touch of humor, ensuring the material is digestible and memorable. The interactive approach with exercises and historical context isn't just about rote learning; it's about truly understanding the "human machine" you'll be working with. For someone who appreciates learning by doing, this book is like a knowledgeable friend who doesn't mind cracking jokes while helping you study.

Description

This introductory book for undergraduate students asks: "What is bioengineering all about?" After offering a reference frame and defining the objectives (Chapter 1), physiology (Chapter 2) is presented as a source material followed by "Signals" (Chapter 3) and "Signal Pick Up" (Chapter 4). Chapter 5 deals with the biological amplifier. Reading the signal and the need for mathematical models are the subject matter, respectively, of Chapters 6 and 7; they only provide guidance. The last chapter tries to look ahead. Sometimes the subject is treated in relative depth; at times the visit is more superficial. Formation rather than information is favored. Historical shots supply background material and spicy insights. Style is light, sprinkled with a little humor. There are exercises which allow students to learn independently.
