Learning Objectives

Bioengineering
The student will be introduced to the main approaches and methodologies used within bioengineering. Some mathematical and computational models for the analysis of biological systems will be introduced. The student will learn some mathematical and computational tools for the treatment of these models.
Psicologia Clinica
The course aims to provide a general overview of the fundamental concepts of Psychology and the psychological aspects of suffering and disease. In particular, the course aims to provide the student with the acquisition of the communication and relational skills necessary to adequately manage the therapeutic relationship and evaluate the symptoms that present themselves on clinical observation, trying to grasp also the underlying existential meaning.
