The Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering trains professionals able to combine, in a synergistic way, the skills typical of industrial engineering graduates (Class L-9) with specific skills in the field of information and systems for biomedical applications. These skills are provided through courses in industrial engineering, information engineering and the biological area; in terms of these objectives, the programme differs from the other two programmes in the same class offered by the University.
The Biomedical Engineer is a versatile and interdisciplinary professional. Starting from the methodological and operational aspects of the basic sciences, engineering and biology, the programme trains graduates able to design and assess the reliability, quality and safety of devices for biomedical and pharmacological use and for supporting people with disabilities, including with reference to cutting-edge fields such as tissue engineering and the development of prostheses and artificial organs. Further skills concern computer systems for biomedical applications.
The programme is organised as a single path of educational activities consistent with the specific objectives of the degree.
