Research Opportunities


The Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department offers a wide variety of research opportunities for undergraduates.

Many of our students conduct research alongside faculty, with the option to receive credit. Others participate in the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, made possible through National Science Foundation (NSF) grants. REUs are nine- to ten-week programs located at universities and research facilities throughout the country, where researchers offer undergraduates the opportunity to work on projects with their student peers. Undergraduates participate in a meaningful summer research project while also receiving the option to see another part of the country and meet like-minded individuals. Most REUs include a stipend as well as help with travel and living expenses. Students may choose to receive credit for participation in the program.
