Another of the main objectives is to provide the students with the knowledge that will allow them to collaborate with health staff, not only in the tasks of technical resolution of the problems that are posed to them, but also in the processes of problem identification, the only way that the technological solutions that they propose will have real utility.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\">\n<summary><b class=\"texto_rojo\">Competences of the studies<\/b><\/summary>\n<p>The course design is aimed to ensure that, at the end of their studies, the students acquire the necessary competencies that will allow them to know, understand and apply technology-based solutions in the development of new processes and services, both in the industrial and health fields. These competences focus on the knowledge of the engineering methodology related to the design process, as well as the medical terminology, and the social and economic repercussions of their performance, along with a solid training in basic, technological and specialty subjects that will prepare them for their future development and allow them to easy adapt themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Competences can be consulted in this section: <a href=\"https:\/\/eei.uvigo.es\/en\/studies\/bachelor-s-degree\/biomedical-engineering\/competencies\/\">Competences in Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Biomedical Engineering<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\">\n<summary><b class=\"texto_rojo\">Recommended profile<\/b><\/summary>\n<p>Concerning abilities, skills and previous knowledge, the student must have passed Technological subjects during High School.
