Bioengineering Fundamentals, published by Prentice Hall, was written by Ka-Yiu San, the E.D. Butcher Professor of Bioengineering, and Ann Saterbak `90, lecturer and director of laboratory instruction. Their co-author is Larry V. McIntire, the Wallace H. Coulter Chair Professor of Bioengineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University.
Engineering of Functional Skeletal Tissues, published by Springer, was co-edited by Antonios G. Mikos, the John W. Cox Professor of Bioengineering, and professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering. His co-editors are Felix Bronner, Professor Emeritus of BioStructure and Function at the University of Connecticut, and Mary C. Farach-Carson, professor of biological sciences at the University of Delaware.
Bioengineering Fundamentals combines engineering principles with technical rigor and a problem-solving focus, the text takes an interdisciplinary approach to the conservation laws that form the foundation of bioengineering: mass, energy, charge, and momentum. Development of the textbook was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education.
The text is already being used in the bioengineering departments at the University of Illinois, Arizona State University and Washington State University, among others.
Engineering of Functional Skeletal Tissues is the third volume in a series of reviews centered on bone replacement written by authorities in the field. The book is aimed at bioengineers, orthopedists, reconstructive surgeons, dentists, physiotherapists and those working in the fields of skeletal and dental tissue engineering and rehabilitation, as well as basic bone scientists interested in translational research.
Mikos is the director of the Center for Excellence in Tissue Engineering at Rice University.
