Biomedical Engineering is the discipline that uses engineering methodologies and technologies to understand, formalise and resolve medical and biological issues, throught close collaboration with specialists from various sectors: from health staff, to biomedical engineering staff, to specialists of other disciplines like biology.
The goal is to develop skills related to medical devices: design, production, supervising testing and maintenance of devices used within public and/or private health facilities, providing post-sales assistance to the users (medical and nursing staff).
