K3. To know the fundamentals of basic scientific and technical subjects in the field of biomedical engineering, which enable to learn new methods and technologies, as well as provide great versatility to adapt to new situations. S3. To analyze and synthesize basic problems related to bioengineering and biomedical sciences, solving them with initiative, appropriate decision making and creativity and communicating solutions efficiently, including social, ethical, health and safety, environmental, economic and industrial implications. S4. Draw up a scientific-technical project in the field of Bioengineering with the appropriate methodology and in accordance with the regulations in force and with respect for ethical principles. S5. To analyse scientific and technical information for decision-making in the field of biomedical engineering by keeping abreast of new developments S7. Solve those problems characteristic of fluid and solid mechanics and the theory of transport of momentum, heat, mass, etc. in continuous media in biomedicine, knowing how to interpret the results obtained and arrive at well-founded conclusions C3. Be able to transmit knowledge both orally and in writing, to a specialised and non-specialised audience, working in multidisciplinary and international teams. C4. To develop, organize and plan their work by making the right decisions based on available information, gathering and interpreting relevant data to make judgments within their area of study.
