The objective for an Engineer in Bionics is to design, develop and produce organ or biologic system-like artificial devices with a morphologic or functional behaviour and development. Engineering in Bionics is regarded as a group of interdisciplinary knowledges halfway between Electronics and Biology which objective is to create artificial systems reproducing live organisms features and structures.
The candidate must have a general background in physical-mathematical sciences in order to solve problems, use computers, work in groups in a proactive way, be a leader and have an ample knowledge of English. The candidate must also be ethical, responsible, tolerant and fair as well as:
The Graduate will be able to develop biological analogues to find solutions on the basis of engineering for environmental problems while contextualising those problems from an interdisciplinary formation in the bio-medical field of technological development, and biomimetic philosophy in order to foster entrepreneurial and proactive attitude in the generation and administration of projects with proper respect and care for life, ecological integrity, social and economic justice.
Attitude and Values
Comply with a high-school study programme. Have solid academic basis in physical-mathematical sciences. Have strong academic basis in logics-mathematics. Develop self-learning. Promote teamwork. Read and understand texts in English. Have basic computing skills.
Bionics is the application of biological systems in order to create analogue methods and use them to find solutions to environmental issues.
It starts with the study of structures, function, alteration and its interrelation with the environment so as to create mathematical models (response curves, number analysis) by detecting, instrumenting and identifying variables in order to form dynamic analogies which help validate the models and create biomimetic elements after the simulated validation, helped by the use of tools such as biostatistics, advanced maths, thematic biome, calculus, etc.
Engineers in bionics need strong interdisciplinary background to study living organisms’ structure, function, alteration and interrelation with the environment to create models focused on the biology and use them to find solutions to issues in health, biomedical, biochemistry, biotechnological and research institutions such as the SEMARNAT and the Ministry of the Navy.
