Biomedical Sciences & Engineering
“Biomedical engineering (BME) is a
discipline that advances knowledge in
engineering, biology and medicine, and
improves human health through cross-
disciplinary activities that integrate the
engineering sciences with the biomedical
sciences and clinical practice”.

What is Prosthetics?
Biomedical Sciences and Engineering
Prosthetics is the surgical and dental
specialties concerned with artificial
replacement of missing parts.
Prosthesis is an artificial leg, arm, or any
other missing body part.
Prosthetic: relating to prosthetics or
prosthesis
