	Bioengineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Biological engineering (also biosystems engineering and bioengineering) is a broad-based engineering discipline that deals with bio-molecular and molecular processes, product design, sustainability and analysis of biological systems.
		Biological Engineering is the same thing as Agricultural Engineering, whereas Biomedical engineering (also known as bioengineering) is related with the medical field.
		Biological engineering is called Bioengineering by some colleges and Biomedical engineering is called Bioengineering by others.

	IBE - Institute of Biological Engineering
		IBE espouses the view that biological engineers should possess the scientific knowledge of biology, including its philosophical views, be proficient in the principles and practices of engineering, and be capable of integrating discoveries from multiple disciplines to design solutions for problems.
		Biological engineering is different from an application-focused engineering area like bio-medical engineering which utilizes knowledge, techniques and perspectives of electrical, mechanical, or chemical engineering and applies them to the field of medicine.
		Major ingredients of the science-based, application-independent biological engineering discipline are core concepts based on first principles; perspectives based on living systems and uncertainty; and applications of principles of similitude in biological engineering that enables selection of appropriate object-level-based engineering approaches to problems for designing solutions.

		Biomedical Engineering includes many application areas and approaches that do not require a foundation in modern biology, and thus there are many educational and research opportunities in the various School of Engineering Departments for students who have a strong interest in clinical medicine and in engineering but only a modest interest in biology.
		Biological problems have already become a frontier application area for established engineering disciplines, and this expansion into biology is expected to continue robustly.

	WorldChanging: Tools, Models and Ideas for Building a Bright Green Future: Biological Engineering
		Biological Engineering is not the same as what is commonly called "biotechnology" or "genetic engineering." It is the application of mathematically-driven engineering principles to the construction of novel genetic structures; in contrast, genetic engineering is often a trial-and-error process, with numerous opportunities for and examples of unanticipated results.
		As long as biological engineers approach their work with an appreciation for system effects, the standardized components and rigorous design methodology could actually make broader use of biotechnology a safer prospect.
		As biological engineering is likely to replace current models of biotechnology, it's important that we understand its methods and goals -- and it's just as important for the biological engineers to understand the bigger world in which they'll work.
