The Biomedical Engineer academic program has a practical approach that covers such areas as Biomedical Engineering, Clinical Engineering, Biomechanics, Biomaterials, and Medical Devices.

Objective

To shape professionals with the necessary expertise for selecting, managing, maintaining, and designing technology for medical diagnosis and treatment through their understanding of the requirements of hospitals and medical centers and their ability to suggest adequate technological solutions to optimize healthcare.

Enrollment Profile

The students who enroll in this program are creative and imaginative, with a passion for technology, reading, and the exact sciences. They show a permanent willingness to learn and want to develop their interactive and communicative abilities with other people and their spatial and scientific reasoning skills.

Graduation Profile

Upon completion of their undergraduate degree, the students will have the following knowledge, skills, and attitudes:

Knowledge of:

• Basic sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, cellular biology). 
• Medical sciences (human physiology and hospital environment). 
• Electronic engineering (analysis and design of electronic instrumentation). 
• Biomedical engineering (analysis, assessment and design of biomedical instruments, biomechanical and supporting devices for handicapped persons, biomaterials). 
• Administration (administration of design projects and hospital technology).

Skills for: 

• Identifying, expressing and solving problems related to measuring the physiological variables of medical or therapeutic diagnosis. 
• Assessing and designing medical technology. 
• Designing medical equipment training programs for health care personnel.

Attitudes: 

• Ethical conduct in their professional field and prioritizing patient safety. 
• Respect for individual dignity in all health conditions. 
• Leadership in the area of health services improvement. 
• Spirit of collaboration, teamwork, and support for fellow professionals in healthcare and beyond.

Each UDEM curriculum is made up of two blocks of courses:

• Professional studies area, these are the courses that make up the profession and make it unique from all others.
• General studies area, these are the courses which provide a general and interdisciplinary overview.

At the UDEM, we want you to excel professionally and leave a lasting impression by seeking to transform your professional, familial, and social environment.

Biomedical engineers (IBI) are prepared to work in operational, commercial, administrative, productive, and innovative occupations.

In the health sector, they can to assess, select, manage, maintain, and design equipment and devices for medical diagnosis and treatment.

In the industrial sector, they work in areas of production, design, and commercialization of medical products, instruments, and equipment. They also serve as product engineers, whether as an entrepreneur or in medical equipment manufacturing, maintenance, and repair companies.

They also conduct technological research and develop in the biomechanical and biomaterials fields, teach, and advise in hospital institutions. Our biomedical engineers also are trained to start their own business.
