Description
The biomedical engineer, thanks to its unique cross-disciplinary profile, merging medicine and engineering fields, is able to design and implement several equipment that could meet and solve the complex requirements proper of healthcare.
Establish from the rising request of engineers able to understand, interpret and realize the technical needs proper of the medical world, the training in biomedical engineering is the youngest among all the other engineering programs offered to the students, having the first graduation in July 2007. This, high-level scientific training combines the conventional and traditional competences of the engineer with the knowledge proper of the biomedical sciences. The biomedical engineer is therefore one of the field of the future, following a growing industry, fed by life and health-sciences.
As the other programs, this education training is finalized in three years, from BA3 to MA. Following the courses, the students will tackle areas as biomechanics, biomedical imaging and instrumentation. In order to simultaneously promote personal development and teamwork, during the five years of studies, special emphasis is placed on teaching transdisciplinary projects, using all the subjects taught, coupling biomedical sciences and conventional engineering competences.
During the last year, together with the master thesis, in which the student must solve a practical problem, the program enables the students to pursue a long-term internship. This internship could take place in hospitals or in companies, in Belgium or abroad, thus diving immediately the biomedical engineer into his proper environment, that he is likely to meet during his future profession.
Whatever the field of biomedical engineering, the future belongs to multidisciplinary teams. The biomedical engineer therefore has a fundamental role to play merging scientific and technological approaches proper of the biomedical science world and of the engineering world.
