Bioengineering, or Biomedical Engineering, focuses on the application of engineering principles in the fields of healthcare and life sciences. It arises from the intersection of various disciplines, including electronics, automation, computer science, mechanics, chemistry, biology, physiology, medicine, and economics. This field has evolved progressively, acquiring its own scientific and cultural autonomy, and currently represents a rapidly growing sector. The market for biomedical equipment has experienced steady expansion in recent decades, with prospects for further growth in the future.

The increasing complexity of equipment has made it essential to have personnel with high technical and scientific skills within healthcare facilities. Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a significant expansion of biomedical applications based on information and communication technologies (ICT).

The skills required of a bioengineer are diverse: from the ability to provide a methodological contribution in basic biomedical research or clinical practice, to the technological knowledge necessary for the development and use of innovative technologies, to managerial applications in various healthcare sectors. The degree program aims to train professionals capable of working effectively in these fields at the design, implementation, and management levels.
