Graduation profile
Purpose:
To educate biomedical engineers who are capable of doing research, identify needs in terms of bio-materials and electronic tools, improving the quality of human life. Engineering professionals are capable of using communications technologies in order to improve the quality of health services in private and public institutions. Our graduates are based on a philosophy underpinned by values of ethics, justice, truth, honesty, and respect.
They will be trained in clinical engineering in order to evaluate and implement hospital technology that complies with current regulations, this enhances the safety and security of patients.
Our graduates will provide an effective patient care service based on physiological information gathered through electronic instrumentation. Engineers will design computational in order to optimize hospital processes.
Biomedical engineers will test the feasibility of biomaterials that enables regenerating diseased tissues and organs, create prototypes of prosthesis and implants at a reasonable cost to the people in need.
General skills
Instrumental skills.
- Following self-learning strategies at the different levels and fields of knowledge, which enables effective decision-making in personal, academic, and professional areas.
- Using logical, mathematical, iconographic, verbal, and non-verbal language for the ecumenical interpretation and expression of ideas, feelings, and theories.
- Employing information and communication technologies for accessing information that eventually becomes knowledge as well as promoting learning and collaborative work through innovative techniques, having a constructive involvement in society.
- Mastering the mother language in spoken and written form, learning to communicate correctly and adapt messages to specific contexts in order to disseminate ideas and scientific knowledge.
- Analyzing natural events and social movements through creative logical thinking in order to propose relevant decisions according to social responsibility and the graduate’s own professional field.
- Speaking a second language, especially English, for proper communication in common, academic, professional, and scientific settings.
- Making academic and professional proposals based on the best global practices in different disciplines to encourage collaborative work.
