Resumen

The program of biomedical engineering will play a noteworthy role at the present and subsequent decades due to the its crossing areas curricula in the medical field. This would suggest to design new and inspirative content with a possible twofold aim: professional and research. Thus, this paper proposes a physics course based at different topics but pedagogically engaged in order to keep the educational coherence. This proposal is illustrated through the modeling of neural synapse, demonstrating that an end-to-end content might be initialized with a basic example treated at the biological level. From experiences at 2022 and 2023, by which a physics course was done to engineering programs, a multi-content course has been designed whose aims are prospective 2th year students of biomedical engineering program. Survey and final qualifications have indicated that the present proposal might be a tangible option based at evidence.
