The subjects of the Health Engineering degree (GES) are: Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Biochemistry, Electronics, Communications, Medical Signals and Images, Medical Informatics, Biostatistics, Clinical Fundamentals, Management and Research.

Objectives

Students acquire the knowledge and develop the skills listed below:
1. Develop projects or tasks that support the subject matter to which they are assigned, to promote research, technological innovation, teaching, solidarity, and cooperation within healthcare engineering.
2. Be able to work collaboratively and creatively in multidisciplinary environments.

Contents

The subject aims to include students in the participation of tasks and projects (research, innovation, solidarity, cooperation and teaching support) related to the subjects of Health Engineering. The contents of each student may be diverse depending on the purpose of the project or task carried out. For example, the development of hardware prototypes, algorithms, software tools, theoretical-practical teaching materials; research into anatomical, physiological and pathophysiological processes; the development of experiments; signal and image processing and database management, among others.

Methodology

This subject has a strong practical component and seeks to prepare students to collaborate in professional environments, facing real challenges in the health sector. It is developed by combining the advice and monitoring of the teacher with the completion of practical activities to solve the challenges posed to groups of 2 to 3 students.

Evaluation

The evaluation of each student's work is based on the ability to respond to the problems posed, taking into account the ability to define how to guide the work, its development and results. Personal involvement and attitude are valued. The evaluation will be carried out by the person responsible for supervising the student groups. This person will monitor and carry out an individual continuous assessment of each student's collaboration. The final evaluation will be based on: (1) the continuous assessment, (2) the written report, (3) the results achieved and (4) the individual performance in the defense of the group work.
To pass the course, the final grade must be equal to or greater than 5. Otherwise, the course will be failed and the student must attend the extraordinary session, where a theoretical and practical exam will be carried out on the knowledge of the contents.
