Introductory Biomedical Engineering Textbooks

Over the past fifty years, as the discipline of biomedical engineering has evolved, it has become clear that it is a diverse, seemingly all-encompassing field that includes such areas as biomechanics, biomaterials, bioinstrumentation, medical imaging, rehabilitation engineering, biomedical sensors, signal processing, biotechnology, and tissue engineering. Many of the textbooks that are currently available for introductory biomedical engineering courses are outdated, do not cover emerging topics such as tissue engineering, do not have example problems and exercises, require an in-depth knowledge of electrical engineering, are written at a level that is beyond the capabilities of most undergraduate students, or are written for the biomedical engineering technology student. 1-6
