I.DESCRIPTION

The course aims to provide students with project management techniques and interdisciplinary team-working skills that are directly applicable to their future research projects. Students will work in teams to engage in a practical project requiring input from a variety of scientific areas related to the interface of engineering, biology and medicine. Project questions will be defined by the multi-disciplinary group of participating professors who will also be responsible for the direct supervision of the research work together with external company advisors. At least two professors from a different field supervise each group.

Students are expected to gain some experience in the various different aspects of group collaboration. These include running meetings, making collective decisions, time and people management, and writing reports. Students must combine skills related to the identification and resolution of biomedical problems, through collaborative design, innovation, use of information technologies, computational modeling, medical ethics and social responsibility.


II.OBJECTIVES

General:
?Enable students to manage and operate in an interdisciplinary group project.

Specific:
?Experience a realistic experimental project in which they can work in a team to apply both technical and interpersonal management skills
?Choose and/or develop appropriate experimental processes and techniques for their defined aims
?Conduct basic project planning, including assessment of risks and challenges within a defined timescale
?Undertake investigations and appraise progress through communication within an interdisciplinary scientific team
?Appreciate the importance of the human-side skills in interdisciplinary projects
?Appropriate experimental or technical skills may also be acquired as a result of the various aspects of the group project


III. CONTENT

1. Understanding of requirements and definition of tasks 1.1. Study analysis and study design
1.2. Experimental work of the various project components
1.3. Interpretation and communication of results.

2. Project planning and management 2.1. Research study design
2.2. Interdisciplinary teamwork and communication skills
2.3. Development of multidisciplinary scientific communication


IV. METHODOLOGY

?Case studies
?Development and presentations of application project
?Group Project written report
?Group Project oral presentation


V. EVALUATION

?Competency assessment 20%
?Audiovisual Presentation 20%
?Oral Interview and Project Report 60%

Even if most of the work of this course will be done in teams, all evaluations will assess both the group and the individual students (50%/50%).
