Courses
- Fundaments of Bioengineering: This course gives a global view of Bioengineering as a career. The components of biomedical and biotechnology are analyzed with the vision of the engineering cycle; in each process. We will study the global scope and the problems that exist at the local and regional level where Bioengineering has been developed and where it is an opportunity for a solution.
- Interdisciplinary projects: The course, of a theoretical-practical nature, is designed for students to deepen their knowledge of the main methods and practices of solution design. The course consists of three modules: - The use of modern tools for rapid prototyping. - The analysis and understanding of systemic relationships. - The management of innovation and entrepreneurship for decision-making.
