TECNUN

Now that I am a graduate in Biomedical Engineering:

Where can I begin my career??

DESCRIPTION

Comparing Spanish hospitals from 40 years ago with today's hospitals, it's clear that technology has played a major role in their advancement. From the treatment rooms to the recovery rooms, electronic equipment and mechanical devices are essential. Today the data gathered from patient monitoring is recorded in real time on a mobile device, and in the future nurses will receive such data wirelessly.

Graduates in Biomedical Engineering will collaborate on research projects in technology centres, design and device development departments, and medical teams.

You will be able to develop electrochemical, piezoelectric, and thermal micro-sensors, which allow for early detection of disease and monitoring of medical parameters. You can also develop software that facilitates the processing of brain signals or medical imaging or improve the regeneration of tissue and develop biomaterials whose rejection is minimised.

You will work with multidisciplinary teams with biologists, biochemists, physicians, pharmacists and engineers to research, design and develop medical solutions and applications.

CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY

Your contribution to society will be to help detect disease earlier and more accurately, to help cure disease faster and more effectively, and to help improve the quality of life after a medical intervention with aid of specific devices.

Your work will focus on people's health and your main goal will be to improve the quality of life in our society through engineering.
