That trend is now starting to appear in the curricula design of engineering schools.  This will be the first broad-based introduction to the influence of nature and biological systems in how things are designed and made, from new design paradigms and structural systems to \"\"self-healing materials\"\" and \"\"smart\"\" systems and robotics.  Presented as a traditional textbook, with accompanying Solutions and Instructor's Manuals, it will offer both students and professionals new to the subject a window into the new world of engineering. The reader will find: *  A general overview of the relationship between living systems and engineering and how biosystems can and do affect engineering design, from  structural materials to thermal-fluid behavior to systems engineering *  Applications of bio-systems to robotics and biomedical engineering. *  End of chapter problems and exercises to reinforce design concepts and expand understanding.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Momentum Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52621268582680,"sku":"9781606502235","price":85.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/bio-inspired-engineering-hardback-9781606502235","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
