The objective of Course 305 is to understand biomaterials used in the design of medical devices and biomaterials that can be used as substitutes for soft and hard tissues. This course also provides information on the applications of biomaterials in the human body and the interaction of different classes of materials with the human body. Additionally, information is provided on the tests and controls that must be performed during the commercialization process of materials to be used in the human body.

1. General knowledge of biomaterials;
2. Knowledge of the applications of biomaterials in living systems.
3. Acquiring knowledge about the interaction of biomaterials with the body;
4. Being able to evaluate current technological problems encountered in Biomedical Engineering from an engineering perspective and possessing the scientific and technical infrastructure to produce solutions to these problems.
5. Learning about the biodegradability methods of biomaterials and having knowledge about the interactions of these processes with the environment.
6. Being able to conduct research on biomaterials, analyze the data obtained, write reports, and give oral presentations.
