It is a discipline that is involved in the development of devices, algorithms, processes, procedures and systems to enhance and improve the medical field. Biomedical engineering has multiple areas of specialization that include: biomechanics, biomaterials, tissue engineering, imaging, and bioinstrumentation.

This textbook serves as a guide to students and professionals seeking to understand commonly used technical terms and phrases in the biomedical engineering field. The content is specifically designed to define technical terms in a general context to facilitate an overall understanding. The book begins by translating terms in English to Arabic then Arabic to English. It can be used as a tool in the academic or professional environment for both English speaking and non-English speaking individuals alike. KEYWORDS Arabic to English translator, bioengineering, biomedical engineering, English to Arabic translator, technical term translator, translator I would like to thank Professor Francis (Jerry) Hopcroft for introducing me to the concept of this textbook. Without his assistance, this book would not have been possible.

I would also like to thank Dr. Joseph Martel-Foley for reviewing the textbook definitions and providing input and Waheda Shady, who assisted in the verification of the Arabic translation. Since the emergence of the Biomedical Engineering field many terms are often used in the classroom and medical device industry. International students may need a guide to facilitate the language barriers needed to succeed in both professional settings. This book is designed to provide students with a tool to understand some of the most common terms used in the biomedical engineering field. Since Biomedical Engineering is a large discipline that relies on anatomy, physiology, chemistry, biology, and engineering, this book focuses on general terminology.

Some of the definitions in this textbook are given from a broad perspective and can be further investigated to provide detailed and deeper conceptual meaning. The contents of this book are divided into two parts. Each part provides the same list of approximately 300 technical terms and phrases common to Biomedical Engineering. In the first section the technical terms are listed in alphabetical order in English and the word is defined in the second column. The same words and definition are then translated to Arabic. Arabic is written from right to left and the translated words are placed on the last column to facilitate the translation and reading.

The second section of the book provides the Arabic word translated to English. The Arabic words start at the second column and the Arabic definition is found in the left most columns. The English translation of the words will start on the third column and the English definition will be on the last column.
