Professor: All right, let's begin. Today, we're going to explore a fascinating concept in engineering called biomimicry. Simply put, biomimicry is the practice of looking to nature to solve human problems. It involves emulating strategies found in natural systems. A classic example is the design of airplane wings, which were inspired by the shape and function of bird wings to achieve lift. Throughout this unit, we will examine how this principle is being applied in modern technology, from architecture to materials science.
