Overview
Biology for Engineers is a one-stop-shop attempting to tie the knot between engineering and
biology. It’s a tailor-made book for the non-majors introductory, yet compulsory, biology course
in the undergraduate programmes in engineering and science. This book attempts to cover
di_erent dimensions of biological concepts, particularly from the engineering perspective, their
potential applications in engineering, and vice versa. After studying this book, the readers would
assess biological knowledge better, synthesise related information from other sources, apply
these to create new engineering solutions and innovate new technologies.
Key Features
• Devised as per AICTE model syllabus and curriculum for undergraduate programmes of renowned institutions
• Exposition of biological concepts enriched with illustrations, diagrams, and tables
• Strategically placed Brain-tickling Facts to pique interest in learning
• Frequent Checkpoints test readers’ understanding and learning
• Appendices comprehend Engineering Principles and Engineers of Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine, and
Development of physiological assist devices or artificial organs as applications of engineering in biology
• Chapter-end pedagogical features
Key Points to Remember
