Abstract
The Multidisciplinary School of Engineering in Biomedicine was founded in AGH University of Science and Technology for the purpose of education of biomedical engineering students. This paper discusses the extensions of the MSIB’s mission and impact to the local society resulted from independent information policy. Broadening of awareness of the new profession was mainly targeted on college scholars and prospective employers in order to help in human flow management. Beyond the study track, MSIB implemented a biomedical engineering-specific professional culture having impact on students’ competences demonstrated by voluntary and extramural students’ activities. All these examples prove a high impact of the School on new professionals, their job opportunities and local society benefiting from their work.
