留學(xué)加拿大卡爾加里大學(xué)新增生物醫(yī)學(xué)工程系

近日加拿大卡爾加里大學(xué)舒立克工程學(xué)院(Schulich School of Engineering)開設(shè)了一個全新的系:生物醫(yī)學(xué)工程（Biomedical Engineering）。加拿大卡爾加里大學(xué)

卡爾加里大學(xué)臨時部門負責(zé)人Michael Kallos博士表示，這是一個跨學(xué)科的部門，涉及醫(yī)學(xué)、工程、科學(xué)、護理、運動機能學(xué)和獸醫(yī)學(xué)。

卡洛斯說:“卡爾加里大學(xué)在生物醫(yī)學(xué)工程領(lǐng)域培養(yǎng)碩士和博士的研究生項目已經(jīng)有25年了。新的院系將所有這些東西以一種協(xié)調(diào)的方式結(jié)合在一起，成為多個不同院系活動的焦點。”

生物醫(yī)學(xué)工程領(lǐng)域有廣泛的研究和活動、我們有研究成像的研究人員，有研究生物力學(xué)的研究人員，有研究新冠病毒等疾病的診斷工具的研究人員，有研究機器學(xué)習(xí)和智能等各種不同東西的研究人員，我們有一批對可穿戴設(shè)備感興趣的新教師，因此，我們的工程工具在健康問題上的應(yīng)用范圍相當(dāng)廣泛。

據(jù)卡洛斯說法，這擴大了學(xué)校培養(yǎng)本科生的能力?？逅拐f:“我們真的很想與業(yè)界建立很多合作伙伴關(guān)系，并為他們提供真正上手的學(xué)員，無論他們是從事診斷和設(shè)備制造還是研究治療。我認為這真的會給卡爾加里帶來很多關(guān)注，并提供強大的學(xué)員人才庫。”生物醫(yī)學(xué)工程系是舒立克工程學(xué)院的第六系。學(xué)在加拿大

Schulich School of Engineering

Abrand-new department at the Schulich School of Engineering will pave the way for new opportunities and discoveries while breaking down traditional silos in this ever-more-interconnected world.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering(BME)will build on a very successful multidisciplinary approach,bringing together undergraduate and graduate programming,as well as research and scholarly activities.

“This has been years in the making,”says Schulich Dean Bill Rosehart.“We believe this will be yet another reason for fantastic faculty and students to come to the University of Calgary going forward.”

Interim department head named

Taking the reigns of the new department will be Dr.Michael Kallos,BSc(Eng)’95,PhD’99,who will be the interim department head.

Kallos,a double Schulich alumnus,has held many academic leadership positions and roles,including the interim director of the Centre for Bioengineering Research and Education(CBRE),director of the Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program,and lead of the campus-wide Engineering Solutions for Health:Biomedical Engineering research strategy.

Next step in evolution of engineering education at UCalgary

The interconnected world in which we now live has allowed for collaborations and teamwork that previous generations could have only dreamed about.That mindset is a cornerstone for many things happening around the UCalgary campus,and was a driving force behind the creation of the new BME department.

Schulich’s sixth department expands the biomedical engineering graduate program,which provided a successful intersection between medicine,engineering,science,kinesiology,nursing and veterinary medicine in using different disciplines to solve health challenges.

The hope is the new department will build on those achievements,such as tackling the COVID-19 pandemic,the recent development of a blood test for breast cancer and a new approach to stopping or preventing epileptic seizures.

This new department will be an anchor of multi-faculty biomedical engineering activities.Faculty,students and postdocs have been able to enjoy working with researchers from across the campus and those unique relationships and experiences will continue going forward.

Research is key to BME’s success

Kallos is an active researcher with more than 70 published peer-reviewed articles,including a recently published paper on the bioengineering and application of induced pluripotent stem cells(iPSCs)in regenerative medicine.He calls the paper an example of the type of multi-faculty research that students will see at BME.

“It summarizes the need for industry and academia to take a multidisciplinary approach to overcoming the obstacles through collaboration and the adoption of new technologies,methods and ideas within research and biomanufacturing,and apply the concepts rapidly being discovered in academia to industrial manufacturing infrastructures,”he says.

With BME becoming a department,a number of administrative processes are being consolidated,including finance,human resources and IT systems,and the new structure will enable better co-ordination between undergraduate,graduate and research activities.

“We’ve already accomplished so much with biomedical engineering as a program,”Rosehart says.“We’re confident that this new department will build on that and become the model for collaborative learning at UCalgary for years to come.”
