Introduction (?)
Biomimicry, also known as biotic engineering, is the use of biological design to enhance man-made goods or services.
Type (?)
Level (?)
ALL (Undergraduate, Graduate, Doctorate, Postdoctorate)
Definition (?)
Investigate how biological organisms function and perform certain tasks analogous to industrial or technological applications and determine if there is potential gain by mimicking natural processes.
Objectives (?)
--- ! Begin objectives instructions ! ---
- Identify clear research goals. These could include definite goals about data collection, observation, or desired outcomes of theoretical research. (700 characters or less)

Questions (?)
--- ! Begin questions instructions ! ---
- List 1-7 questions to be explored.
- If a research application has more than 7 questions, it may be possible to split some of the questions into a new research article.
