'''Biological engineering''' or '''bioengineering''' (including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_systems_engineering biological systems engineering]) is the application of [[concepts]] and [[methods]] of [[biology]] (and secondarily of [[physics]], [[chemistry]], [[mathematics]], and [[computer science]]) to solve real-world [[problems]] related to the life sciences or the application thereof, using engineering's own analytical and synthetic methodologies and also its traditional [[sensitivity]] to the cost and practicality of the solution(s) arrived at. In this [[context]], while traditional engineering applies physical and mathematical sciences to analyze, [[design]] and [[manufacture]] inanimate [[tools]], structures and processes, biological engineering uses primarily the rapidly developing body of [[knowledge]] known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_biology molecular biology] to [[study]] and advance applications of living [[organisms]] and to create [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotechnology biotechnology].

An especially important application is the [[analysis]] and cost-effective solution of problems related to human [[health]], but the field is much more general than that. For example, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomimetics biomimetics] is a branch of biological engineering which strives to find ways in which the structures and functions of living [[organisms]] can be used as [[models]] for the design and engineering of materials and [[machines]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_biology Systems biology], on the other hand, seeks to utilize the engineer's familiarity with complex artificial systems, and perhaps the concepts used in "reverse engineering", to facilitate the difficult process of [[recognition]] of the structure, [[function]], and precise method of operation of complex biological systems.
