Biomedical Engineering, which is a relatively recent discipline, is an application of engineering principles and techniques in the medical field, which aims at designing and/or developing the monitoring devices for physiological functions, as well as for diagnosis, treatment and assistance to patients.

The Biomedical Engineer works in a multidisciplinary environment, combining Life Sciences (biology and medicine) with Engineering Sciences (physics, information technologies, electronics, mechanical processes, etc.) in order to materially facilitate the needs of Health Professionals and Biologists.

Therefore, the Department of Biomedical Engineering’s task lies in delivering a high quality, multidisciplinary education to students, whilst also offering them an effective and stimulating form of guidance. In this manner, all the skills that are necessary for a Biomedical Engineer, mainly innovation, creativity, listening and collaborative skills, will be enhanced.

Chemical Engineering is concerned with the industrial application of chemistry. It aims at transforming matter within an industrial framework and consists of designing, sizing and operating a process that encompasses one or many chemical and/or physical transformations. Moreover, Chemical Engineering is applied within the economic and commercial fields and deals with health, safety, ecological and environmental problems.

Hence, the Chemical Engineer designs equipment and processes, used in factories operating in many industrial sectors (chemical, petrochemical, environmental, food, etc.). He/she ensures their ‘follow up’ whilst also seeking to improve processes that lead to the transformation of raw materials.
