Curriculum

A Biomedical Engineer is a professional who integrates modern theoretical and computational methods of engineering with biological and medical sciences to address issues involving living systems and enhance the quality of life.

Living systems have conceptual characteristics and complexities that differ significantly from physical systems. Therefore, the preparation of a Biomedical Engineer extends beyond traditional engineering skills, such as mathematics, physics, mechanics, robotics, materials science, electronics, electromagnetism, computer science, and telecommunications. It also includes in-depth knowledge of anatomy, biology, physiology, and pathology.

With this training, a Biomedical Engineer will be able to interact efficiently with healthcare professionals and translate concepts for new diagnostic, therapeutic, and prosthetic devices into quantitative and engineering requirements. They will oversee the design, development, testing, and operation of these devices. The complexity of the Biomedical Engineer's role suggests a broad cultural perspective.

Initially, the program builds the foundational skills in mathematical, physical, mechanical, and electrical sciences, along with a solid grounding in biological, chemical, anatomical, and physiological sciences. Subsequently, the basic training focuses on the methodologies and applications of electronic and radio device engineering, robotics, advanced simulation of living systems, and management and organization.

Overall, the Biomedical Engineer will acquire the multidisciplinary skills necessary to become a key figure in emerging research and technological development. This includes fields such as e-Health, Precision Medicine, Neuroengineering, and Tele-surgery.
