Unit 5: Bioengineering
Students explore the field of Bioengineering: the discipline which develops technology that interfaces with biological systems. Students learn how engineering directly affects the lives of people, whether in their community, or in communities across the world. Students must work between design requirements and constraints as they complete a group project in Bioengineering.
