Résumé

Biomedical activity is rapidly expanding. Actually, the demand for hi-tech technologies in health is in constant increase. At the Franche-Comte High Institute of Engineers (ISIFC) an engineer can acquire the knowledge and skills to carry out various tasks in biomedical engineering field including academic research, in-hospital devices maintenance or industrial development. The main advantage of the ISIFC is that it offers an exceptional multidisciplinary programme thank to close cooperation between Besancon University Hospital professionals and Engineering Sciences professors and researchers. As a result, the graduates obtain real experience in the both fields. The majority of the ISIFC engineers are employed by firms producing and/or commercializing health-oriented materials and equipments such as Alcis, Arthesis, Aventis Pasteur, Biomerieux, Imasonic, Medos, Statice Sante, Sophysa, Symbios, Praxim, Protheos, Tornier, Zimmer etc.
