Biology for Engineers

Bys: K, Pavithra, M. B., Savitha, P, Prasad

This textbook explains how biology and engineering work together to create useful technologies. It starts with biomolecules like carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and enzymes, showing how they help make biodegradable plastics, vaccines, and biofuels. The book also looks at the human body as a system, comparing the brain to a computer, the eye to a camera, and the heart to a pump. It explains medical technologies like artificial organs, pacemakers, and prosthetics. Another section explores how nature inspires technology, such as self-cleaning surfaces like lotus leaves, sound-based medical scans, and nature-inspired transport and energy solutions. The last part of the book covers modern bioengineering trends, including 3D printing of body parts, DNA computing, artificial intelligence in medicine, and self-repairing materials. This book shows how biology and engineering work together to improve healthcare, develop new materials, and create eco-friendly solutions.
