CAT scans

What field of biomedical engineering is applications engineering to incorporate appropriate computer based instrumentation in a healthcare facitility?

Clinical engineering

What type of engineer uses principles of engineering, biology, chemistry, life sciences to develop solutions for environmental problems?

Environmental Engineer

Oil spills in water can only be cleaned up through removing the waste

False - Certain microorganisms (bacteria, algae, fungi) are also used to eat and safely process the waste.

Environmental engineering restores and maintains a sustainable environment that uses microorganisms for the control of wastes, remediation of polluted environments, and treatment of environmental biohazards.

False - Environmental bioengineering

Chemical contaminants are just herbicides and insecticides

False - also fertilizers

Technologies and practices for waterway protection ONLY include controlling soil erosion, reduction of sediment, and water conservation.

False - also improved water quality

The ONLY values of GIS for farming are the reduction in water waste, decreased use of chemicals (fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides), and increased yield and profitability.

False - and less runoff of chemicals into the water systems

Mono-planting will improve water usage, improve soil quality, conserve energy, and increase production.

False - crop rotation, mixed crops, and organic farming

Sustainable agricultural practices and technologies do not improve the ability of the land to continue to produce goods.

False - do improve

The greatest values of genetic modification are improved products for animal consumption, increased yield, and potential health benefits for humans.

False - human consumption

Greenhouse technology is the practice of growing plants in water based nutrient rich solutions without soil.

False - hydroponics

Biotechnology uses dead organisms to degrade, transform, reduce contaminant to safe level.

False - living organisms

Bt refers to Bacillus thuringiensis, an animal product found to contain proteins that are toxic to many invading pests.

False - not animal product but soil bacteria

Autonomous technologies for agriculture can only use commands from a lead manned tractor.

False - technologies can use a combination of GPS, remote control guidance via a local communications network, and/or commands from a lead manned tractor

This medical technology repairs defective DNA to reduce a specific disease in a living organism:

Gene Therapy

This type of medical technology uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create graphic images for areas inside the body:

MRI Equipment

This type of medical technology uses gamma-ray emission to create graphic images for areas inside the body:

PET Equipment

This medical technology requires precision in extracting of the primary active medial ingredients and the secondary processing to form the ingredients into usable products.

Pharmaceuticals

What field of biomedical engineering is a design engineering function to develop quality of life solutions like assistive technologies and prosthetics?

Rehabilitation engineering

What field of biomedical engineering develops computer models to research living organisms and their subsystems?

Systems physiology

This medical technology is used to treat and diagnose patients in remote applications without the physical presence of a doctor.

Telemedicine

A watershed is a geographic area that holds water under and above ground and feeds streams, other waterways, and flows into a body of water.

True

Agricultural waste and pollutants flow in the watershed through runoff of excess water and rain.

True

Bioremediation techniques are used to clean agricultural, industrial and municipal wastes.

True

Biotechnology involves the use of organic or modified microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, algae, plants, or animal, for environmental problem solution

True

Bt has been used in farming as a spray pesticide since the 1960s since it was considered save for mammals and most insects.

True

Genetically modified crops are created for improved yields due to resistance to specific disease, resistance to certain pest insects, has greater drought resistance, or possibly increased tolerance to frost.

True

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide high resolution informational images to provide farmers data indicators of crop health and soil conditions.

True

These technologies support and enhance the growing and processing of plants and animals for food, fiber, fuel, or other useful items.

True

This type of medical technology uses high frequency sound waves to create graphic images for areas inside the body:

Ultrasound Equipment

Medical Rehabilitation technologies include:

prosthetics
