To train engineers whose mission is to design, develop and produce artificial devices with morphological and/or functional behavior and performance similar to that of biological organs or systems. Bionic Engineering is conceived as the set of interdisciplinary knowledge between electronics and biology whose purpose is the creation of artificial systems to reproduce the characteristics and structure of living organisms.

Professional capable of developing biological analogs to solve environmental problems from engineering, contextualizing the problems from interdisciplinary training in the medical-biological areas of technological development and biomimetic philosophy; that promotes with an entrepreneurial and proactive attitude the generation and management of projects within a framework of respect and care for life, ecological integrity, social and economic justice.

Knowledge

• Solid interdisciplinary training that allows the study of living organisms: on their structure, function, alterations, and their interrelation with the environment to create biological analogous models and use them in the solution of problems in their environment.
• Interdisciplinary character to synergistically combine knowledge of medical-biological base and technological development to analogize biological systems that are used in the solution of biomaterial design problems bioinformatics Imaging IA biomechanics bioelectronics and biorobotics.
• Knowledge of basic sciences and engineering that allow a level of abstraction to generate mathematical, electronic, mechanical, chemical, and acoustic models based on biological parameters that lead to the development of design techniques, simulation, and manufacturing of biomimetic prototypes.
• Knowledge of environmental education so that their professional practice preserves a bioethical correspondence with the environment with other species with gender equity and recognition of other cultures Knowledge for the planning, generation, and management of technological and research projects that respond to social demands with solutions based on Bionic Engineering
• Knowledge to evaluate, classify and rank the social, ethical, scientific, and technological impact of their professional practice to participate proactively in the sustainable development of their environment.

Skills

• Analyze with bioethical emphasis the structure, functions, alterations, and interrelation with the environment of biological systems from the interdisciplinary bases between the medical-biological and technological development areas.
• Identify variables during the analysis of biological systems, and measure and characterize them to obtain response curves that lead to the design of mathematical models.
• Make use of dynamic analogies to transform the mathematical models resulting from the biognosis of biological variables into engineering models that can be controlled and simulated.
• Apply design, simulation, and analysis tools to the construction of biomimetics uses advanced manufacturing technologies.
• Validate biomimetics by comparing their transfer function and the biological analog from which it was developed.
• Apply biomimetic systems to the solution of engineering problems to order to satisfy the technological demands of society, establishing as premises harmony with the environment and sustainable development.

• Bionics is the study of biological systems to create analogous models and use them in the solution of environmental problems, understanding environmental problems that surround living beings. It begins with the study of the structure-function alteration and its interrelation with the environment to later detect, instrument, and identify the variables and with this create mathematical models (response curves, numerical analysis, etc.) that with the help of tools such as: biostatistics, advanced mathematics, biomathematics, calculus, etc., obtain dynamic analogies that help us to validate the models and after the validation simulate and manufacture biomimetic elements.
• Concerning the above, the objective of the bionic engineer is solid interdisciplinary training that allows the study of living organisms in their structure, function, alterations, and interrelation with the environment to create models inspired by biology and use them in the solution of problems in their environment.
