Pros And Cons Of Medical Engineering

Mr.Feldkamp

I will research how mechatronics and engineering are used in the real world at PTI. What are engineers and what do they do? According to The Merriam Webster Dictionary an engineer is “1: a member of a military unit specializing in engineering work. 2: a designer or builder of engines. 3: one trained in engineering. 4: one that operates an engine.” That isn’t very helpful, so I will use this essay to explain what they do.

“Most engineers specialize… ...Numerous other specialties are recognized by professional societies, and each of the major branches of engineering has numerous subdivisions. Civil engineering, for example, includes structural and transportation engineering, and materials engineering includes ceramic, metallurgical, and polymer engineering. Engineers also may specialize in one industry, such as motor vehicles, or in one type of technology, such as turbines or semiconductor materials.” (5)

Agricultural engineers try to better agriculture and the efficient use of biological resources. They design agricultural machinery, equipment, sensors, processes, and structures, such as those used for crop storage. Agricultural engineers conserve soil, conserve water, and improve the processing of agricultural products. Agricultural engineers often work in research and development, production, sales, or

Many do research to develop and evaluate systems. They also assist in research and production for artificial organs, prostheses, health management and care delivery systems, medical information systems, and measuring instruments. Biomedical engineers may also design various medical devices used in procedures. Some specialties within biomedical engineering are biomaterials, biomechanics, medical imaging, rehabilitation engineering, and orthopedic
