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.
