Student Research Initiatives
Biomedical engineering combines not one, but two research-focused fields. To help students succeed, the department offers students several opportunities to gain hands-on experience that prepares them for careers in both academia and industry.
The CURE Program
No research experience? No problem. The Coulter Undergraduate Research Excellence (CURE) Program gives entry-level students the chance to learn from a faculty mentor and gain hands-on, paid research experience, all before graduate school.
Senior Design Showcases
Biomedical engineering seniors complete two senior design showcases before graduation. The first focuses on biomedical engineering, while the second is part of the College of Engineering & Computing Senior Design Showcase. These events let students present their research to both specialized and multidisciplinary audiences.
Undergraduate Research Celebration
In addition to showcases, the department hosts another opportunity for students to present their research: the Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate Research Celebration.
Here, students present the projects they’ve worked on all year and connect with alumni, gaining valuable networking experience.
Graduate Research Day
Graduate students showcase the meaningful research they are doing while spending a full day developing professionally. They connect with industry partners, present their work and learn from one another.
