I.DESCRIPTION

This course provides a forum for postgraduate students of the Institute for Biological and Medical Engineering. They can participate in presentations by researchers, teachers and other peers in such a way to instill a culture of discussion and critical thinking from the scientific point of view. A series of seminars will be held which will include the presentation of students, faculty and special guests. The purpose of this course is to raise awareness about contingent problems and how science related to the interface of Biology, Medicine and Engineering can address them. Moreover, this course will provide students with the tools to write scientific summaries with a clear, organized and motivating structure. As well as tools for creating clear and consistent oral presentations taking into account structure, organization and content.


II.OBJECTIVES

General:
?Develop the capacity of scientific criticism and to propose and defend relevant research topics and train specialists with skills in critical, synthetic and purposeful analysis, capable of developing research and innovation in their field and level of competence.
