Overview

Biology for Engineers is a one-stop-shop attempting to tie the knot between engineering and
biology. It’s a tailor-made book for the non-majors introductory, yet compulsory, biology course
in the undergraduate programmes in engineering and science. This book attempts to cover
di_erent dimensions of biological concepts, particularly from the engineering perspective, their
potential applications in engineering, and vice versa. After studying this book, the readers would
assess biological knowledge better, synthesise related information from other sources, apply
these to create new engineering solutions and innovate new technologies.
