Presentation
Biomedical Engineering is an area of multidisciplinary knowledge that aims to study and present solutions in biomedicine, focusing on medical diagnosis, biopharmaceuticals, gene therapy, prostheses, and rehabilitation. In addition to Biomedical Engineering, one must understand areas such as the development of new biomaterials, biosensors, and nanotechnology, which are integrated and implemented in the creation of new technical knowledge and the creation of solutions for society. The Biomedical Engineering student should also understand the other components related to therapy and diagnostic techniques involving nuclear medicine.
This Curricular Unit addresses the topics and concepts related to the various aspects of Biomedical Engineering, focusing on the role played by the biomedical engineer in the search for more appropriate solutions for the well-being of the human being.

Objectives
Objectives
The objective of this Curricular Unit is to understand the principles transversal to Biomedical Engineering and the biomedical engineer’s role in academic and professional contexts, particularly in scenarios related to medicine and the like.
Thus, the student will be able to:
• develop interpretation skills of information in medicine and the like, and contextualize them from the perspective of technical conceptualization of the domains’ transversal to Biomedical Engineering,
• understand the transversality of Biomedical Engineering according to an introductory contact with the technical fields related to the practice of Biomedical Engineering, using technical formulation and case studies, and
• identify the academic and professional opportunities of Biomedical Engineering in the short and medium term, as well as the good practices for updating technical knowledge throughout professional life.
