Title: Explain the nature and manufacturing of biomaterials.
Course: Biomedical Engineering (21049) > Section: Exploring Foundations of Biomedical Engineering

Explanation should include

- definition of biomaterials
- manufacturing processes
- naturally occurring materials (e.g., collagen)
- current materials (e.g., vaccines, implants, prosthetics)
- emerging materials and processes (e.g., nanotechnology).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What types of ceramics, metals, elastomers, plastics, and composite materials are used in biomedical engineering?
- How have naturally occurring materials been repurposed?
- How are biomaterials sterilized?
