Develop Those Keywords

Keyword searching is the "key" for successful searching. Synonyms can make or break your searching experience and without the exact term, you may struggle to find the resources you need. This is why it is so important to search using different synonyms. If you type in one term and you don't find what you are looking for, try searching for it under a different term.

Possible keywords and phrases your professor has provided:

Biological engineering (ie, research biological engineering)
Bioenvironmental engineering
Biomechanical engineering
Biomechanics
Bioagricultural engineering
Biomaterials
Bioprocess engineering
Biomedical engineering (tissue engineering, prosthetics, orthopedics, etc.)

Annals of biomedical engineering
Annals of Biomedical Engineering is an interdisciplinary, international journal which presents original and review articles in the major fields of bioengineering and biomedical engineering.

A major aim of bioengineering is to provide integrated approaches to the solutions of biological and biomedical problems. The philosophy is to provide engineering approaches to enhance the power of the scientific method, and to maintain a balance between experimental observation and quantitative analyses. While the development of theory and of mathematical models is strongly endorsed, these should be evaluated wherever possible using biological data from experiments that test specific hypotheses.
