The Biomedical in Engineering Major will develop the ability to apply innovative solutions to problems in human health with an interdisciplinary focus. Furthermore, this program allows students to apply their knowledge ro a diverse range of projects with the capacity to tackle and solve highly complex issues through the formation and application of mathematical models.
This major has a limited number of vacancies, due to which, there is a selection process.
The Major in Biomedical Engineering allows students to specialize in the traditional degrees from the School of Engineering, or, to obtain the degree of a UC Medical Surgeon after fulfilling established requirements.
This course will allow students to obtain a general overview of the major in Biomedical Engineering and the areas of knowledge that are studied.
The graduates of Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a Major in Biomedical Engineering are able to apply their interdisciplinary knowledge towards developing innovative solutions in the spheres of academia, public and private healthcare, the biomedical industry, and through entrepreneurship.
“Engineering Sciences graduates with a major in Biomedical Engineering are able to exercise their interdisciplinary knowledge to develop innovative solutions in the spheres of academia, public and private healthcare networks, the biomedical industry and entrepreneurship”, Sergio Uribe.
Track Premedicine + Minor Depth Specialization Premed. It leads to the professional certification as a UC Medical Surgeon: The aim of this track is that students can solve problems of basic sciences related to biomedical engineering, through interdisciplinary work. It also seeks to enable students to develop and execute projects involving medicine, biological sciences and engineering.
