Reflection and Analysis

   Over the couse of the nine weeks, I have gone through extensive research regarding Biomedical Engineering and its benefits to Society. As a passion and hopefully, future major, I have gained quite an extensive view in the diverse applications and paths that one can go through while studying BME. I have studied the beginig of a " just born" discipline, to its benefits and various technologies that are involved.   
       The purpose of this research project was to gain full insight about BME, as well as answer the essential question. The question regarding how Biomedical Engineering benefits society. Through all of the research conducted, I have finally gathered enough material to fully comprehend the answer to this question.
   Biomedical engineering is combining the two disciplines of engineering and medicine in order to create new materials that can be used to benefit ones health and overall lifestyle. As researched, several technologies such as the MRI and artificial heart are several applications of BME. One good example, is the artificial heart" which is further studied in the wiki" the artificial heart supplement the heart, while maintaining the same functions of the heart. Imaging technologies, such as the ECG,PET,X-ray" and MRI are used in order to diagnose pathological disorders and to further prevent such illnesses from occuring.

Overview of the Wiki

http://biomedicalengineeringevolution.wikispaces.com/

     This Wiki will touch all of the information researched in my blog, including all information answering the essential question. The Wiki will cover information regarding the several different applications of biomedical engineering, its history and more. The Wiki will include a home page, and will organize my findings into 7 major subheadings. These subheadings include, Applications of BME, Hisstory, The evolution of BME, The artificial Heart, Imaging, Benefits, and Career opportunities.
