Introduction to biomimetics engineering and component design deals with the basic principles of recombinant DNA technology and physio-chemical principles involved in various life processes. It is important for a civil engineering student to study about this course because it can help in giving such ideas in creating tunnels, bridges, and other mechanical structures. It discusses concepts on how organisms form structures from simple components. It is the imitation of models and structures for the purpose of solving human problems. Biomimetics is relatively a new field of research. Furthermore, the application of biomimetics in civil engineering is seen in developing a multifunctional materials. One example is creating of bridges and tunnels. By studying this course, we might contribute something new and innovative that can answer human problems. We can also create something that will make our daily lives easier.
