留学加拿大卡尔加里大学新增生物医学工程系
近日加拿大卡尔加里大学舒立克工程学院(Schulich School of Engineering)开设了一个全新的系:生物医学工程（Biomedical Engineering）。加拿大卡尔加里大学
卡尔加里大学临时部门负责人Michael Kallos博士表示，这是一个跨学科的部门，涉及医学、工程、科学、护理、运动机能学和兽医学。
卡洛斯说:“卡尔加里大学在生物医学工程领域培养硕士和博士的研究生项目已经有25年了。新的院系将所有这些东西以一种协调的方式结合在一起，成为多个不同院系活动的焦点。”
生物医学工程领域有广泛的研究和活动、我们有研究成像的研究人员，有研究生物力学的研究人员，有研究新冠病毒等疾病的诊断工具的研究人员，有研究机器学习和智能等各种不同东西的研究人员，我们有一批对可穿戴设备感兴趣的新教师，因此，我们的工程工具在健康问题上的应用范围相当广泛。
据卡洛斯说法，这扩大了学校培养本科生的能力。卡洛斯说:“我们真的很想与业界建立很多合作伙伴关系，并为他们提供真正上手的学员，无论他们是从事诊断和设备制造还是研究治疗。我认为这真的会给卡尔加里带来很多关注，并提供强大的学员人才库。”生物医学工程系是舒立克工程学院的第六系。学在加拿大
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.”
