Bioengineering

The Master's Degree Program (CdSM) in Bioengineering (class LM-21) aims to train biomedical engineers with a solid methodological foundation and high professional qualifications. They will be able to design and develop products and systems in the field of bioengineering in general, with a particular focus on solutions and technologies to address the complex challenges of the human brain and nervous system. Thus, students will develop an interdisciplinary education, closely linked to the fields of Information Engineering and Industrial Engineering, on the one hand, and to the medical-biological and legal-regulatory fields, on the other. These fields constitute the natural field of application and career opportunities, represented by public and private actors and stakeholders. The specific educational objectives of the Degree Programme, consistent with the qualifying educational objectives of the LM-21 degree class, are related to the acquisition of the methodological and technological tools to identify, formulate and solve biomedical engineering problems, even highly complex ones, according to a systemic vision and an integrated and interdisciplinary approach relating to diagnostics, data management and interpretation, prevention, active aging, therapy and rehabilitation, the design, testing, application, integration and management of biomedical technologies and devices and their interactions with biological systems, the certification and marketing of medical devices and related regulatory sources, integrated enabling technologies (digital, sensor, robotic, etc.).

The specific educational objectives of the Degree Programme are grouped into the following four learning areas:

- Area 1 – "Biomedical Engineering Methods and Technologies": Acquire knowledge and develop skills in the characteristic aspects of biomedical engineering, in the areas of signal processing, data analysis, instrumentation for diagnosis, treatment of pathologies and functional rehabilitation, and tools for interfacing with the nervous system.

- Area 2 – "Physical-Medical and Legal-Regulatory": Acquire knowledge of the operational functioning, safety, certification, and legal-regulatory aspects of biomedical instrumentation. Develop skills in the design, operational functioning, and compliance with specifications according to international standards for biomedical instrumentation. Acquire knowledge and develop skills related to the functioning of the nervous system, its pathological alterations, and monitoring and intervention technologies, including medical diagnostic imaging.

- Area 3 - "Information Systems and Technologies": Acquire knowledge and develop skills for the design of hardware/software interfaces for measurement, digitization, modeling and control, communication, and data management for biomedical applications.

- Area 4 - "Biomechanical Systems and Technologies": Acquire knowledge and develop skills in the operational functioning and instruments for measuring mechanical quantities for the characterization, design, and development of biomechanical systems.
