Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering Tecnológico de Monterrey

Empowering Humanity

Biomedical Engineering is growing in leaps and bounds and today more than ever needs professionals with a solid background in medical and biological sciences, capable of proposing technological solutions that address the needs of the healthcare area by developing innovative devices, systems, and services.

The three stages of the model

1. Exploration

• You will open your competency file and add to it throughout your degree program.
• You will learn the foundations of the area of the Built Environment.
• You will participate in fundamental and exploration challenges from the area of Built Environment, interacting with peers from different degree programs.
• You will study general education courses, selecting them from a collection.
• You will participate in a challenge that integrates all the competencies to be developed in this phase.

2. Focus

• You will acquire the core competencies of your degree, in other words, those that distinguish it.
• You will participate in more focused challenges to reinforce what you have learned and broaden your basic knowledge.
• You will have the elements to decide whether to deepen your knowledge or diversify and, subsequently, build your specialization plan.
• The Tec Weeks, challenges, and overall university experiences will enrich your file.

3. Specialization

• You have decided between diversifying or focusing deeply on your major, which you will achieve by choosing a concentration or a stay, to name a few of your options. The TEC Semester is a flexible time to start.
• You will develop the competencies related to your specialization, increasingly connected to your passions, interests, and plans.
• By passing a concentration, you will develop your competencies, and, on graduating, will be a candidate for obtaining a Diploma in that concentration, after meeting the established requirements.

How can you specialize?

Concentrations

Specialize in one of the different concentrations available at the campus of your choice, according to the profile you would like to develop.

Internships

Internships allow you to participate in the development of specific projects with companies, organizations, or research groups, in a context of total immersion related to a specialty field. They can be carried out locally, nationally or internationally.

International experiences

Experience life outside Mexico to broaden your horizons and delve into the topics of your interest.

Courses or blocks

Choose the education units that best adapt to your objectives, enabling you to specialize in your specific interests.

Is this right for you?

If you want to combine your desire to help improve people’s health with your passion for technology and science, you’re in the right place.

Tecnológico de Monterrey is looking for a new generation of students that have finished their high school studies and are talented, enthusiastic individuals, who are committed to the development of their environment and the wellbeing of society; people who have the potential to study an undergraduate program and become leaders with an entrepreneurial spirit, humanistic sense and competitive on an international stage.

The objective of the B.S. in Biomedical Engineering program is to train engineers with a solid preparation in biological and medical sciences that create, implement and evaluate technological solutions that successfully serve the needs of the healthcare industry. In addition, graduates of this program will be able to develop methods, devices, systems, and medical services, complying with current regulations and behaving in an ethical manner. Their professional preparation will allow them to join multidisciplinary work teams and enter postgraduate study programs.
