Following the most significant results obtained in the study carried out by the Unit of Support for Quality and Engineering Innovation of Engineering @UPF about the Second Graduate class in Biomedical Engineering (check the summary of the first graduate class here).

The study covered three aspects: academic, personal, and professional/plans of future. 72,22% of graduates (13/18) participated in the study. 76,9% are women and 23,1% men.

Regarding the competences that participants perceive as the most developed, the ones that stand out are: Ability to recognize and understand diversity, multiculturalism and non-discrimination based on gender (4.7/5), Ability to work as a team and Professional ethics (going from 3.9/5 last year to 4.5/5). Capacity of communicate with property (oral and written) in Catalan and Spanish in front of expert and non-inexperienced audiences (4.5/5), Capacity for organization and planning, Ability to communicate in academic/professional contexts in oral and written English, in front of expert and inexperienced audiences (4.2/5).

Comparing these results with the ones obtained last year (regarding the first graduate class) can be pointed out that the three competences best scored by graduates are: work in team, the capacity of organization and planning and the ability to communicate in all the mentioned languages.

About activites/experiencies in which students have participated, it should be highlighted their participation in the ERASMUS program (4.8/5) and the participation in DTIC research activities (4.3/5; last year this score was 3,8/5). Also this year was (significant improvement of the previous promotion, which valued it with 3.8/5). This year UPFeina was especially high scored (3.8/5). 84.6% of participants imagine themselves working in a private company in two years time, note that 60% of first graduate class imagined themselves doing research.

Finally, pointed out that a brief study on Linkedin was done to see in what are these students working after some months, and we found that of this promotion it has been possible to make a study about the training/work continuity in the finished degree, this has been carried out from the reading of the Linkedin profile of the students. The most relevant data is that 80% of members of second graduate class found in Linkedin were working and, in all cases, in jobs related to biomedical engineering.
