Internship/Project in Biological Engineering

Base Knowledge

The recommended basic knowledge is the one related to the previous curricular units in the degree.  

Teaching Methodologies

Methodologies based on active and collaborative learning to promote positive interdependence between the intervenient, foster individual responsibility and autonomous work, improve communication, develop interpersonal skills, encourage self-assessment and periodic evaluation of the Internship.

Each internship / project has associated one or more supervisors, according to the areas involved in the field work, and a supervisor in the enterprise (if applicable). The student and the advisor / supervisor agree on a work plan, which includes a framework, objectives and a schedule of activities.

During the internship / project period, there will be follow-up meetings between the student and the advisor to ensure that the objectives are being met.
