Presentation
UC Nanotechnologies has a vast area of expertise in Biomedical Engineering. Nanotechnology is a technology practice that designs, manipulates, controls, develops and manufactures products and processes on a very small scale. Nanotechnology operates structures, devices and systems on a nanoscale scale.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching: theoretical classes (expository, power point presentations, previously available) for presentation and debate of theoretical concepts and case studies; theoretical-practical classes where different type exercises are proposed and carried out, following sequentially the themes presented in the theoretical sessions. In this context, students work on practical cases to solve real-world problems. In solving and analyzing problems, they also use knowledge acquired in other CUs, promoting collaborative learning. Students are encouraged to study content at home using a variety of devices and platforms, including mobile devices, before class for later class discussion and group work.
