Bioengineering integrates the engineering sciences with the biomedical sciences and clinical practice for advancement of knowledge in life science and improvement of human health. Important strides in medical research have been achieved by integrative approaches that incorporate structural and functional data from the molecular, cellular, tissue and organ levels in order to prevent, diagnose, and treatment of abnormalities at any level. We will use as a working definition for 'Reproductive Bioengineering' any structural, mechanical, electrical, or other physical component involved in the functional processes of the reproductive system. The reproductive system is composed of complex sub-systems, which are driven by sophisticated biochemical processes, while their performance is controlled by the physical laws that exist on earth (e.g., Newton’s laws). Accordingly, understanding of any physiological phenomena, as well as the development of pathologies, requires comprehensive evaluation of the bio-physical and bio-engineering aspects of reproduction in concomitant with the biological and clinical features.

Future studies for better comprehension of the mechanisms involved in reproduction, as well as for development of advanced techniques for both diagnosis and intervention requires close collaboration of experts from medicine, biology, physiology, bioengineering and biophysics. The bio-engineering perspectives in the reproductive system can be demonstrated in the study of non-pregnant uterine contractions.
