Engineering After Princeton My name is Laura Forese. I'm class of 83, civil engineering and operations research.
普林斯顿大学工程学毕业生,我是罗拉·弗里斯,是普林斯顿83级毕业生,专业是土木工程及运营研究。
So probably the, the most common example of Bio-Engineering is stem cell research,
可能最常见的生物工程案例就是干细胞的研究了,
I should mention that Yen is a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering and Serge is an M. D. /PhD student who's getting his PhD in Biomedical Engineering.
我要说的是,叶是生物医学工程的博士生,斯吉是医学和生物医学工程的双学位博士,他博士的研究方向是生物医学工程
There's a whole lot of research and this is research, some of which takes place outside psychology departments and in engineering departments and computer science departments, trying to figure out how a computer can do the same things brains can do.
已经存在大量的研究,这其中有些并非是心理学研究人员所做,而是由工程学,以及计算机科学的研究人员所完成的,这些研究试图去探索,计算机究竟如何才能像大脑那样去运行
Sure, so the program that I studied for was the Electrical and Aerospace Engineering,
好的,我研究的项目是宇航电气工程,
That study is Systems Physiology and that's an important subdivision of Biomedical Engineering.
这项研究叫做系统生理学,它是生物医学工程的一个重要分支
So this is another kind of engineering, an engineering not to look more closely at how humans work but an engineering to improve their function when it's failing.
这便是另一种工程技术,它并不研究人体运作原理,而是强化某部位的功能,如果这个部位失效了的话
We're maybe where civil engineering and bridge building was 100 years ago.
这个水平可能与土木工程和桥梁学,一百年前的研究水平相同
I think engineers have a role to play in that, but it's not sort of classical Biomedical Engineering in the way that developing an artificial heart is where you can see that.
我认为工程师们,在其中扮演了重要角色,但它又不像传统生物医学工程那样,去研究人造心脏之类,实实在在的东西
What makes engineering different than other fields of study?
工程与其他领域的研究,有什么区别
This is one aspect of Biomedical Engineering, developing tools that allow you to understand how human's function and what's wrong when they have disease and so some of the things we've talked about have that category.
这是生物医学工程研究的一个方向,即设计那些能够让人们了解,人体的运转方式的工具,以及能够诊断疾病的工具,我们刚才讲过的一些东西就属于这类
Well let's take a step back for a minute; that's one way of looking at Biomedical Engineering, by looking at sort of the things that you know about that have been the result of the work of biomedical engineers and talk more generally.
好的,话说回来,了解生物医学工程的一种方法就是,通过看一些你们熟悉的东西,它们同时也是,生物医学工程的研究成果,并对它们做一般意义上的讲解
Drugs like antibiotics, Penicillin, Erythromycin, again something else you probably all had experience with and you think well that's not Biomedical Engineering that's science, that's somebody discovering a molecule that kills microorganisms.
像抗生素,青霉素和红霉素这样的药物,你们都用过这些药,你不认为这属于生物医学工程的研究范围,而认为是科学的产物,科学家发现这种分子能够杀灭微生物
We'll talk about a field which is growing now called biomolecular engineering and that is the design of biomaterials or new materials that can be implanted in the body, it's new ways of drug delivery.
我们也会讲到现在正在发展的一个领域,叫做生物分子工程,该领域主要研究可植入人体的,生物材料或新材料,它将是新的给药途径
and then specialized in the aerospace industry, continuing in the electrical engineering field.
后来专攻宇航工程专业,以便继续电气工程领域的研究。
