Abstract:

The purpose of the symposium was to examine the application of engineering analysis to biology, and to examine some of the results. It is concluded that the problems are so complex that bioengineers are absolutely essential to aid in solving the problems that are now facing biologists. Problems can no longer be solved intuitively. Bioengineers can increase factual biological knowledge by precisely defining the biological problems in engineering terminology.
