Miscellaneous announcements
The skills-based approach adopted in the Biotechnology Engineer course at EIBB was fully highlighted during the validation of the students' projects, which took place on Wednesday April 24.
One of the highlights of this approach was the hierarchical classification of protein secondary structures, an essential pillar of their program, through navigation along all the 3D structures currently available in international databases. This theme illustrates in an exemplary manner how our students were able to put into practice their skills in analysis, synthesis and problem solving to understand and classify the patterns and structures of proteins.
During the validation of the projects of the students of the Biotechnology Engineering course at the EIBB, a salient point was the Hierarchical Classification of Protein Secondary Structures. This theme is part of a skills-based approach which emphasizes the development of specific abilities such as analysis, synthesis, problem solving and scientific communication.
By looking at Hierarchical Classification of Protein Secondary Structures, students were able to apply these skills in a concrete way by understanding and classifying the different patterns and structures present in proteins, which is crucial for understanding biological mechanisms and applications in biotechnology. This approach allowed students to not only acquire theoretical knowledge, but also put it into practice, preparing the next generation of biotechnology engineers to effectively address the complex challenges of this ever-evolving field.
