Objectives

The main objective of this course is the transmission of knowledge and experiences in the Biomedical Engineering area through a set of presentations from academics and company leaders in the area.

Students are also expected to deepen their knowledge on a specific topic by carrying out a group work that must be presented publicly to the teachers and other colleagues.

Learning outcomes and competences

After attending the curricular unit, students should have acquired a comprehensive overview of the field of Biomedical Engineering.

Eligibility for exams

The frequency grade will be the average of the marks obtained in a set of surveys that will be carried out immediately after each of the lectures. Each survey will have as its theme the work presented in the corresponding lecture.
Missing a lecture or failing to hand in a survey will be penalized with a grade of 0 in this component.

Calculation formula of final grade

Frequency grade (NF) = average of the marks obtained in a set of surveys carried out in the final part of the lectures.

Group work grade (NG) = grade resulting from the assessment of the group work

Final grade = 0.5* NF + 0.5*NG
