Most generally, I think that bioengineers use technological advancements to not only improve medical care but also to produce health-related products that are used to prolong and sustain life. At this point in my bioengineering career, I am not very familiar with the different areas of concentration within the field of bioengineering; however, from what I can tell, bioengineers integrate advanced mathematics and applications to the physical sciences to solve biological problems occurring in many facets of life. Not only does the work of bioengineers apply to helping to preserve and better human life but also bioengineering has many applications to plants and other organisms as well.
