UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM

The undergraduate Program in Biomedical Engineering at Mahidol University prepares students to be leaders in biomedical engineering and for further education in graduate school or related areas in academics and industry. This program consisted of 30 credits of general courses, 100 credits of BME courses and 6 credits of free elective courses. During study, we provide a flexible curriculum that exposes students to the newest developments in the field, permits depth in an area of biomedical engineering, educates self thinking for solving problems that integrates between engineering and biomedical science. Additionally, we promote an interdisciplinary learning environment to train our students to function effectively in positions that require intellectual growth, open inquiry, self learning, and self thinking. Our graduates will be able to address complex biomedical engineering problems in academia and medical industry that require integration of multi knowledge.

Student Admissions
   The Faculty of Engineering and the Biomedical Engineering Program adheres to the general admissions policy of Mahidol University which are composed of two systems in two rounds, known as university’s quota system for the first round and the central admission system for the second round. The quota system is organized by the university, the applicant can select only one program. The requirements for admission such as exam scores or grade point average from high school are announced to public as well as the name of candidates who pass the first round of admission. This ends up in February to March of the year. The second round or the central admission system is run by the Association of the Rector of Thailand and the Office of the Higher Education Commission, the candidates can apply for four programs which is then ranked and submitted for the interview only one program in May to June. Table 1-1 shows the students admissions over the past 5 academic years. The data are for all freshmen entering the program.

(2) International exchange students who need a transcript should be enrolled according to Mahidol University Regulation regarding undergraduate student registration and regular enrollment (Thai) and Continuing Studies 2010
(3) Practices other than this notice are under the Rector consideration.

Advising and Career Guidance
All biomedical engineering students receive academic advising. Professional advisors within Department serve as primary academic advisors to all students within the Biomedical Engineering department.
Academic and Career Advising: At the Faculty of Engineering, departments take responsibility for advising their own majors on curricular and career matters. First term, freshmen students take a required orientation activities from department, faculty and university where they receive formal instructions in living, learning including planning their courses of study and registering for classes. All students are notified the academic calendar and course registration schedule two weeks before registration. The primary regular contact between the student and their advisor occurs during the first two weeks of each academic term. Because of the mandatory co-op or internship requirement, Engineering students get a good sense of career choices, professional opportunities, and how to pursue them through their co-op work experiences. The interaction with other students who have a broad spectrum of work experiences help students gain a strong sense of their professional and academic goals by the time they graduate. Students also develop extensive networks through their own and their friends’ contacts in industry. While students get career advice from their co-op work supervisors, colleagues, and other students; faculty and staff advise students on career matters whenever such advising is sought. Students frequently seek advice and obtain letters of recommendation from faculty members with whom they have developed rapport.
Senior Project Advising: Every student is assigned a faculty advisor for the undergraduate engineering project. The project topic is approved beforehand and is based on its potential to enhance the student’s knowledge. The faculty advisor interacts with the student through meetings, emails, phone calls, and visits to the industry. They also read preliminary and final drafts of the student’s work. Sample student project will be available for the ABET team during the accreditation visit. It has been part of the department’s culture for faculty to have an “open-door” policy for student visits. The primary role of mentoring encompasses general non-curriculum related guidance to student concerns on transition to college, employment perspective, and professional development, etc. Although there is no structured system for these activities, our department prides itself in creating an informal and comfortable social atmosphere in which students can routinely communicate with faculty outside classrooms. Students can have face to face meeting with faculty regularly for example after the class (4pm). Moreover, the department assigns the faculty to advise students for each year including Year 1 Dr.Songpol Ongwattanakul; Year 2 Dr.Panrasee Ritthipravat; Year 3 Dr.Phornphop Naiyanetr; Year 4 Dr.Soontorn Oraintara.
