Introduction to Bio-Inspired Engineering - On-Demand

The primary purpose of this 1 Hour 20 minute course is to inform engineers and other technical professional in the use of bio-inspired engineering (BiE) to expand the design space of possible solutions to technical problems.  We do that by first understanding how nature solves problems. Then, and at least as important, is learning how to translate biological knowledge into engineering practice.  Even though the domain of biology is vast and new discoveries occur daily, much is known about biological solutions. Turning this knowledge into technical solutions is the challenge we face – it is also the focus of considerable attention in modern BiE, and hence this course as well.
