The course in brief Presentation The degree course in Biomedical Engineering provides in-depth training in the disciplines of Information Engineering (mathematics, physics, computer science, signals and systems), which is supplemented with specific content in the areas of life sciences (physiology) and biomedical engineering applications (bioelectronics, measurements, biomedical signals and instrumentation, biomaterials). Learning by doing Theoretical training is accompanied by examples and applications, with a strong interdisciplinary component. The lectures are complemented by: laboratory experiences on the use of instruments for electrical, mechanical and physiological measurements development of software projects for biomedical applications Professional outlets Biomedical Engineering is a rapidly expanding field, both nationally and internationally. Most graduates go on to further studies, but the degree opens up interesting career opportunities in industry (production of medical devices, medical-surgical aids, biomaterials for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, assistance and function monitoring; related technical and commercial assistance) and in services (management of biomedical technologies, telemedicine applications, information systems in hospital and rehabilitation facilities). What you will learn Bioelectronics Introduction to electronic devices and biophysical systems Electrical Communications Linear signals and systems, probability theory Electromagnetic fields Interaction of electromagnetic fields with matter Fundamentals of biomedical data and signal processing Theoretical and practical tools for processing biomedical data and signals Electronics and Biomedical Measurements Principles and experiences of measurement and fundamentals of analogue electronics Systems theory Behaviour of linear, stationary and continuous-time dynamic systems Did you know that... The degree course in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Genoa was, together with that of the Polytechnic University of Milan, the first to be established in Italy, in 1995. According to a U.S. survey (YI Advisors), biomedical engineering has been recognised as one of the three most promising jobs for millennials (+27% of places in 2022) . Approximately 75 per cent of those surveyed by Doxa rate our engineers as equal or superior to those of other universities. The Biomedical Engineering production sector counts tens of thousands of companies in Europe, with a turnover of more than 100 billion Euros and 650,000 jobs, of which almost 80,000 in Italy (ISTAT 2018). Contents Interdisciplinarity as the key to innovation The application dimension of new technologies and scientific discoveries necessarily passes through dialogue between different disciplines. The course of study in Biomedical Engineering, with its specific training pathway, educates a cross-sectoral, multidisciplinary attitude, naturally inclined towards innovation. A polyvalent professional figure with a solid technical-biological background The initial part of the course (first year) provides a basic preparation in the physical-mathematical disciplines that form the foundation of all engineering studies. The methodological-analytical content of the basic teachings aims to develop logical-mathematical reasoning and a quantitative mentality. In addition to the mathematics, physics and chemistry content, physiology is taught, which forms the basis for the specific bioengineering content. The second year focuses on the disciplines of information engineering (signals and systems). The basic contents of bioengineering are introduced, to which a large part of the third year is devoted, which also includes laboratory activities. In particular, the following are provided to students elements for understanding the interaction between devices, equipment, instrumentation, materials and biological phenomena instruments and methods for the measurement and processing of biomedical data and signals The course also provides the opportunity to acquire good communication and interpersonal skills, which are essential since the biomedical engineer will often have to act as an interface between professionals with very different skills and cultural backgrounds. Coordinator Welcome to the Biomedical Engineering degree course. All of our lecturers are heavily involved in research activities in the various fields of bioengineering. For this reason, the teaching content is always up-to-date and state-of-the-art. By joining our community - students, lecturers, tutors, technicians and administrative staff - you will develop the necessary skills to use engineering tools and techniques to solve medical and biological problems. You will live and study in a friendly atmosphere and share our passion for bioengineering.
