The degree in Biomedical Engineering is designed to be offered to who finished high school with a special preference for natural and exact sciences. In addition of the previous acquired knowledge, it is desirable for the applicants to show some of the following characteristics:

• Taste for the ordered and systematic observation.
• Critic spirit.
• Will of globalization and synthesis.
• Non dogmatic and open mind.
• Curiosity for the progress of Science, in any area.
• Taste for intervention.

Preferable profile is established by the following criteria:

• Knowledge in: sets, algebra, trigonometry, analytic geometry, mathematics for calculus, basic knowledge of general culture.
• Skills: reading and comprehension, capability of abstraction, logical reasoning, analysis and synthesis.
• Attitudes: Scientific enthusiasm and curiosity, taste for the rigor and precision, critic spirit, interest for team work, taste for invention, creativity and technological interest.

As it was conceived in the design, the orientation of the program will still be Scientific-Practical focused on competencies, which will be acquired throughout the program. These strategies and actions are sustained since the planning of basic, intermediate and professional knowledge, which directly influence in the different competences the graduate will have. Basically, the graduate profile addresses four groups of specific competences: cognitive, methodological, instrumental and labor-social.

A list of generic competencies is proposed in this document for every graduate of an educational program of engineering at DCI. The list emerged from a selection and analysis of the competencies proposes by the Tuning Project (Tuning Educational Structure [11], 2011), which, same as in the original document, they are divided in instrumental, personal and systematic. The selection consisted in an analysis of the competencies every graduate from an engineering must acquire.
