Project in Biomedical Engineering

Recommended Prerequisites

Previous 5 semesters completed. Proficiency in written English for carrying out literature searches.

Teaching Methods

The teaching is focused on the use of advanced methods and equipments and on the individual tutoring of each student. The student will be integrated ia a work group and should  participate actively in the daily activities of the group and getting tutorial supervision.

Learning Outcomes

In this course, the student will be included in a work team tasked with the execution of a research and development or a technical project, in areas related to Biomedical Engineering, in scientific, company or hospital environment.
Besides technological skills, students are expected to acquire a broad training and skills associated with the development and execution of a Biomedical Engineering project, such as:
- Being able to do the requirement analysis associated to a research and development project.
- Learn how to search the scientific and technical literature and interpret that literature critically.
- Being able to integrate knowledge acquired from various sources to understand a problem and propose a solution.
- Know how to compare experimental data with those predicted based on existing models.
- Know how to write a technical or scientific report based on the data obtained during his/her project.
- Present and defend orally his/her project.

Syllabus

In this curricular unit the student will do a research an development or a technical project in a area related to Biomedical Engineering. This work is individual but can be part of a project involving a small group of students.
The curricular unit includes one intermediate oral presentation of the project work and the writing of the final report and its presentation and defense for evaluation by a jury of experts.
The specific syllabus depends on the domain of the project and is established individually for each student.
