Syllabus

The project is a curricular unit comprising a scientific or technological work in the field of Biomedical Engineering, with research or/and innovation character. This work is individual but can be part of a project involving a small group of students (2 or 3 students). In this case, there must be predefined tasks for each element of the group. In any case the final assessment is individual. The project may be carried out outside the FCTUC and FMUC (wholly or partially), in companies or other institutions. In any case, there will always be a UC faculty member responsible for the project, regardless of whether the host institution provides a supervisor.
The project includes writing a Master dissertation and its final presentation for evaluation by a jury. In addition, the student will have to make at least two public presentations of his/her work.
