Week 9 Prompted Post

This week I had to find a news article about engineering and its importance. Engineering is liked to many different fields. Engineering is important because an engineer solves problems using different methods and materials. Like my last post I found an article about the recently hot topic of engineers creating a new tissue that can keep a pulse out of different materials and methods to solve the problem of restoring damaged cardiac tissue in patients.

 The article explained the medical advances the engineers created and how the new tissue is very beneficial to the medical field and to people in general. They created a starting block for tissue that mimics the pulsing action of cardiac tissue. The breakthrough of the new tissue will greatly modify how doctors handle cardiac patents and the prospect of new tissue helps give hope to a lot of people suffering with heart problems and potentially other problems involving skin, organs, and even bones.
