AUDIOFONIATRIA E BIOINGEGNERIA

Learning Objectives

• Otolaryngology

  Achievement and acquisition of the theoretical bases and of the applicative knowledge of physiological and pathological swallowing, of the development of language in developmental age and of physiological and pathological phonation.

• Audiology

  Administer useful knowledge for the acquisition of notions useful for the accomplishment of the speech therapy activity in relation to the disturbances due to alterations in the auditory canal.

• 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.
