It is recommended that you have completed courses related to the project topic, as well as skills in document research and the basics of research methodology and data analysis. In addition, teamwork and communication skills are valued.
Students acquire the knowledge and develop the following skills:
Apply methodologies for identifying clinical needs and defining problems.
Work collaboratively and with creative thinking in multidisciplinary environments.
Develop skills in the management and execution of healthcare engineering projects.
Design innovative technological solutions that improve healthcare.
Develop practical projects in different areas of healthcare engineering, addressing specific challenges in the field and considering ethical, regulatory, and safety aspects.

At the beginning of the course, students are presented with predefined technological challenges with researchers from La Salle's Faculty of Engineering and specialists from healthcare companies. These challenges are addressed by groups of two to four students under the supervision of a tutor, who guides and oversees the development of the proposed solutions. In addition, several researchers and specialists conduct seminars and workshops on experiences in various healthcare engineering topics, with a practical and applied approach.
The evaluation of the project is conducted in three stages: at the beginning, mid-semester, and at the end of the semester. At the beginning, the student's understanding of key concepts and the presentation of the project's theoretical and methodological design and framework are assessed. Partial results are presented mid-semester, and at the end of the semester, the results of the project's implementation are presented. Each student is evaluated based on their ability to respond to the problems posed, their ability to define how to direct their work, their development of their tasks, their creativity and innovation in designing solutions, their collaborative work and teamwork, their written report, the results obtained according to the initial objectives, the quality of the final presentation and defense of the project, and the tutor's assessment.
