9266 - Biomedical Engineering
The aim is to train students to work as professional biomedical engineers who are able to work on the design of biomedical tools, in clinical engineering and/or in scientific research in relation to the application of engineering methods to the field of life sciences. To this end, graduates must acquire a level of preparation and specialisation that enables them to assume technical and organisational roles in professional contexts that require knowledge of basic scientific methodology, as well as of engineering applications and methods, with a particular focus on the specific characteristics of the biomedical engineering class. Graduates must be able to apply analytical, technical and numerical simulation tools, signal and image processing techniques, experimental laboratory methods, and techniques for the design of biomedical devices and apparatus for rehabilitation, both in general and with regard to the specific application field of the chosen curriculum. They will be able to contribute to the design of biomedical devices for diagnostic, therapy and rehabilitation purposes, to the analysis of complex biological systems and the management of clinical engineering services. They may also study advanced methods for diagnosis, including quantitative therapies based on models, bio-images, prosthetics, rehabilitation systems, movement analysis and artificial intelligence techniques. These objectives are achieved through a curriculum that offers a sound foundation in physics and mathematics, gained through specific modules of the master's degree programme, followed by the acquisition of professional and operational skills in some biomedical disciplines, focusing in particular on biological system modelling, biomechanics, signal and image processing, biomedical instrumentation and artificial organs. While maintaining a generalist perspective, biomedical engineering students may further refine and specialise their skills through the study of elective courses. These courses aim to introduce students to more advanced design/research themes that will likely represent an essential aspect in the bioengineering field in the next years, guiding them on a study path that seeks to balance innovation, creativity and a solid cultural foundation. The curriculum, through essays, laboratory assignments and the final dissertation, offers students significant autonomy to conduct activities related to design, laboratory measurement and computer processing, with a particular focus on the themes of the respective courses. The skills thus acquired, together with a sound methodological foundation, enables graduates to plan, implement and analyse highly complex projects and to interact in the multidisciplinary environment that is typical of biomedical engineering.
