Objectives

This is a Integrated Labs course offered in the Biomedical Engineering specialization, and it aims to offer a platform for the application and  integration of knowledge, methods and tools acquired by the students up to this point, and acquisition of new knowledge within the context of the projects to be developed. Additionally, project planing and software engineering skills will be object of particular reinforcement.

Learning outcomes and competences

Acquisition and development of CDIO competences, namely in conceiveing engineering systems(4.3) and design (4.4).

Working method

À distância

Program

Group project elaborated by the students.

Eligibility for exams

Attendence is mandatory according to the relevant school regulations.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final grade is given to each students's work within the group, based on:

1. Individual contribution and commitment (C)
2. Reports submitted (R)
3. Demonstration and discussion (D)

 Final grade = 0,3*C + 0,5*R + 0,2*D

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable

Internship work/project

Not applicable

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Students with special status are obliged to perform all the activities predicted in the CU.

Classification improvement

By enrolling again on the following academic year.

Observations

The laboratory work consists of the experimental work necessary for the elaboration of the project carried out in remote mode using programming, computing and simulation tools in software and simulated data or available in remote databases.
