Description
Summary:Yachay Tech University, home for more than 900 students and growing, has entered a new era and made a step forward in its development and fulfillment of the hopes placed on it. Indeed, its Schools have launched their careers offering the students a wide range of choices among programs of high academic level. The School of Biological Sciences and Engineering has started its two careers. The first one, coined "Biology," is designed for students aiming to gain knowledge either in "Organisms, Ecology and Evolution" or "Molecular and Cellular Biology." The second path, referred to as "Biomedical Engineering", is the first program of its type in Ecuador and is intended for students wishing to apply the principles and problem-solving techniques of Engineering to Biology and Medicine. These students will be able to acquire knowledge at the interface between Biology and Medicine, on one side, and Natural Sciences, such as Physics and Chemistry, and Engineering sciences, such as Flow Dynamics, Informatics and Electronics, on the other side.
