Ogni modulo equivale a 3 crediti ECTS. È possibile scegliere un totale di 10 moduli/30 ECTS nelle seguenti categorie:
- 12-15 crediti ECTS in moduli tecnico-scientifici (TSM)
I moduli TSM trasmettono competenze tecniche specifiche del profilo e si integrano ai moduli di approfondimento decentralizzati. - 9-12 crediti ECTS in basi teoriche ampliate (FTP)
I moduli FTP trattano principalmente basi teoriche come la matematica, la fisica, la teoria dell’informazione, la chimica ecc. I moduli ampliano la competenza scientifica dello studente e contribuiscono a creare un importante sinergia tra i concetti astratti e l’applicazione fondamentale per l’innovazione - 6-9 crediti ECTS in moduli di contesto (CM)
I moduli CM trasmettono competenze supplementari in settori quali gestione delle tecnologie, economia aziendale, comunicazione, gestione dei progetti, diritto dei brevetti, diritto contrattuale ecc.

The lecture encompasses a comprehensive exposition of Biomedical Engineering. It commences with a historical overview, followed by an examination of contemporary methodologies and tools. Physiological principles will be discussed before focusing on subjects like biosignals and sensors. An array of topics will be dissected, including but not limited to bioimaging, biomolecular engineering, tissue engineering, and the intricacies of precision and personalized medicine. Attendees will attain discernment concerning foundational prerequisites such as biology and physiology and the variety of materials used for implants, prostheses, and available biomaterials. Current clinical paradigms will be scrutinized, notably osteoporosis, fracture fixation, and osteoarthritis. Furthermore, orthopedic treatment modalities and osteosynthesis techniques will be meticulously analyzed, encompassing fracture fixation and the primary stability of implants and joint replacements. A deeper comprehension will be given to measurement technologies catering to human physiological performance encompassing kinematics and kinetics. This includes evaluating movement analysis, muscular dynamics, and cerebral activity. (7) The course will also discuss (robot-assistive) rehabilitation technologies in the case of neuropathology, such as stroke, MS, and paraplegia, with a specific focus on innovations in virtual/augmented reality.
Requisiti
Basic knowledge in cell biology, anatomy, functional anatomy, and pathology (fracture, neuro, orthopedics, osteosynthesis) is beneficial. Potentially missing knowledge can be acquired individually as an autodidact effort.
Obiettivi di apprendimento
The first half of each afternoon session will focus on biomedical engineering and prosthetics. During the second half, the students will be tasked to work as a group on describing a medical device product of their choice (an existing device or a medical aid they would like to build).
