Journal of the institution of engineers (India): Series CSummary: Asking an engineer to design a solution to a surgical problem requires a process of explanation, mutual understanding, the testing of concepts, and a rich exchange of ideas. Key to the process is isolating the exact biological process the engineers are being asked to replicate. This is a challenge for both the doctor and the engineer. In this article, it has been described the progress through a mechanical engineering course where physiological processes become translated into biomechanical work. Using the example of building a simulated carotid pulse into the neck of a defunct intubation (head and neck) model, it has been illustrated the process of teaching and learning as both teachers and students bring the worlds of medicine and engineering together to develop an understanding essential to the simulation of biology in machines. The future of medicine and surgery is integrally related to advances in technology and engineering.
