Abstract

Extension action promotes inclusive, equitable, and quality education, a goal of sustainable development that guides educational actions around the world. The development of digital skills is a differential, together with the encouragement of open educational practices. This chapter provides reflections, as well as lessons learned, through experience in a biomedical engineering course. Encouragement, through the development of actions that correlate important skills and abilities, is essential for professional development. The carrying out of teaching, research, and extension activities and actions contributed to promote the interdisciplinarity of the various fields of study, necessary for professional development in the digital age. Thus, the actions developed stimulated the investigation, improvement, and study of topics of interest related to education and health and technology areas related to the role of the biomedical engineer, the main protagonist of this project.
