[edit] Biomedical Engineering: A Roadmap

This book is here to provide a practical overview on the interdisciplinary field of Biomedical Engineering. The main target audience are biomedical engineering students, who are usually overwhelmed when first entering this field. This book should provide a practical roadmap to guide biomedical engineering students through their learning process. The book should achieve this goal by giving them a brief, yet efficient, overview on different disciplines within the biomedical engineering field. In this way, it should help them to choose their discipline of interest and get familiar with the necessary tools they need to develop their career in the chosen discipline.

This book is not intended to be a Biomedical Engineering Handbook. There should be no much detail on the tools; rather, there should be appropriate links pointing to the tools necessary. This book should not have an in-depth coverage of most recent research trends in the field. It should, however, give a good coverage on the breadth of the Biomedical Engineering discipline. It is a horizontal coverage, not a vertical coverage.
