Learning Goals
The internship in Biotechnology is a curricular unit of the program course that requires the elaboration and defense of a final written report.
Corresponds to the development of an individual research work by students and should be directed to the implementation of knowledge already acquired by the student during the academic part of the graduation, in order to reveal their ability to participate in design tasks, planning, research and development or in solving concrete problems that require graduate level skills.
This curricular unit also intends to develop a set of skills to collect, select and interpret relevant scientific information, and communicate ideas and scientific knowledge, orally and written, organized in a coherent and logical form, about matters within the scope of the curricular unit.

Contents
Students will develop the work on a topic of their choice in the area of Biotechnology (BIOQ / QUI / CBIO) previously proposed by the several teachers of the study cycle and coordinated by the jury of the Curricular Unit.
The content varies according to the work plan selected by each student, who student must do an individual scientific work and present and defend a final report.

Teaching Methods
The individual work of the student represents almost all of the time devoted to curricular unit.
The development of research work should be carried out under teacher supervision, according to the work plan selected.
The individual practical classes aim to integrate the student in the internship work and provide the necessary skills for the development of the individual research work.
Taking into account the typology, this unit should be evaluated by discussion in public tests, in one of the evaluation periods.
The evaluation will take into account the analysis of the final report elaborated based on the work done by the student during the semester (70%) and oral discussion of that (30%).
