Programs in biomedical engineering education: How to improve it

Abstract

This work collects information on educational models applied in the teaching of biomedical engineering, in several countries. There is no universal uniformity in teaching subjects and contents of the courses. The result internationally is great variability in the curriculum, the analysis is based in areas covers and didactic modalities. We used information available on the Web sites of careers and we use the AWP model as valuation method. Some optimization proposals are made, based on the results of professional performance of graduates and the demands of the professional field.
