Not only does the study of bioengineering provide a solid foundation in science and engineering , but also it develops powerful methods for understanding basic physiologic processes such as fluid transport ( for example , blood flow ) , feedback control ( for example , the control of blood pressure ) , and the principles underlying biomedical instruments and prosthetic devices ( for example , the ECG machine and orthopedic implants ) . Topics covered include evolution , taxonomy , biogeography , reproductive physiology , positional behavior , social and reproductive behavior , ecology , and conservation . Following two introductory chapters on the scope , evolution , physiology , and behavior involved in bird migration ( by Able ) , there follow chapters on migration across the Gulf of Mexico ( Sidney Gauthreaux ) , stopover ecology on the northern Gulf Coast ( Frank Moore ) , autumn migration of the blackpoll warbler ( James Baird ) , broad-winged hawk migration ( Keith Bildstein ) , sandhill cranes and the Platte River ( Gary Krapu ) , the migration of the white-rumped sandpiper ( Brian Harrington ) , dunlins and western sandpipers on the Copper River Delta ( Stanley Senner ) , the rufous hummingbird in Rocky Mountain meadows . By bringing together scholars from medicine , the humanities , and the social sciences , this major provides an exciting , intellectually coherent , and practical education . Instructors who provide additional live fire training may use animal silhouette or other recognized targets , but under no circumstances will " human silhouette targets " , bottles , cans or other " trash " be used . It contains over 5,000 terms in animal behavior , biogeography , ecology , entomology , evolution , genetics , psychology , systematics , statistics , and other related sciences .
