This is a collection of free video lectures by Mark Saltzman of Yale, hosted on the Academic Earth website. He covers basic concepts of biomedical engineering and their connection with the spectrum of human activity. His lectures serve as an introduction to the fundamental science and engineering on which biomedical engineering is based. Case studies of drugs and medical products illustrate the product development-product testing cycle, patent protection, and FDA approval. It is designed for science and non-science majors.

Biomedical Engineering Areas:
It is clear that bioengineers for the future will have tremendous impact on the quality of human life. The full potential of this specialty is difficult to imagine. Typical pursuits include the following:
1. Development of improved species of plants and animals for food production
2. Invention of new medical diagnostic tests for diseases
3. Production of synthetic vaccines from clone cells
4. Bioenvironmental engineering to protect human, animal, and plant life from toxicants and pollutants
5. Study of protein-surface interactions
6. Modeling of the growth kinetics of yeast and hybridoma cells
7. Research in immobilized enzyme technology
8. Development of therapeutic proteins and monoclonal antibodies
The term biomedical engineering appears to have the most comprehensive meaning. Biomedical engineers apply electrical, chemical, optical, mechanical, and other engineering principles to understand, modify, or control biological (i.e., human and animal) systems. Biomedical engineers working within a hospital or clinic are more properly called clinical engineers, but this theoretical distinction is not always observed in practice, and many professionals working within U.S. hospitals today continue to be called biomedical engineers.
The breadth of activity of biomedical engineers is significant. The field has moved from being concerned primarily with the development of medical devices in the 1950s and 1960s to include a more wide-ranging set of activities. The field of biomedical engineering now includes many new career areas.
These areas include;
1. Application of engineering system analysis (physiologic modeling, simulation, and control to biological problems
2. Detection, measurement, and monitoring of physiologic signals (i.e., biosensors and biomedical instrumentation)
3. Diagnostic interpretation via signal-processing techniques of bioelectric data
4. Therapeutic and rehabilitation procedures and devices (rehabilitation engineering)
5. Devices for replacement or augmentation of bodily functions (artificial organs)
6. Computer analysis of patient-related data and clinical decision making (i.e., medical informatics and artificial intelligence)
7. Medical imaging; that is, the graphical display of anatomic detail or physiologic function
8. The creation of new biologic products (i.e., biotechnology and tissue engineering)
Typical pursuits of biomedical engineers include:
1. Research in new materials for implanted artificial organs
2. Development of new diagnostic instruments for blood analysis
3. Writing software for analysis of medical research data
4. Analysis of medical device hazards for safety and efficacy
5. Development of new diagnostic imaging systems
6. Design of telemetry systems for patient monitoring
7. Design of biomedical sensors
8. Development of expert systems for diagnosis and treatment of diseases
9. Design of closed-loop control systems for drug administration
10. Modeling of the physiologic systems of the human body
11. Design of instrumentation for sports medicine
12. Development of new dental materials
13. Design of communication aids for individuals with disabilities
14. Study of pulmonary fluid dynamics
15. Study of biomechanics of the human body
16. Development of material to be used as replacement for human skin
