Undergraduate Research OpportunitiesAll Bioengineering undergraduate students take engineering design or research courses as part of their degree requirements. BSE students enroll in BE495/6 Senior Design and BAS students enroll in BE497/8 Senior Thesis. These are year-long hands-on research experiences under the supervision of a faculty member. Students do their research in the laboratories of Bioengineering faculty, in various institutes and centers Penn including the School of Medicine and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, which are about one city block from the Engineering School on the same campus. Many students in the BAS program and those pursuing dual programs can select their research topics in areas such as the economics of health care and business aspects of biotechnology. All of Penn’s 12 schools are on the same campus within short walking distance. In addition to the required senior design or thesis, students can take up to two more independent study courses towards their Bioengineering degree. The links below provide more details about a small sample of the research opportunities at Penn. Students and prospective students are also invited to explore the very extensive internet sites of Penn’s School of Engineering and School of Medicine. A unique feature to Penn is the Institute for Medicine and Engineering established by the two schools in 1996. Through the Institute for Medicine and Engineering,
Penn’s Schools of Medicine and Engineering developed a unique
experience for Bioengineering undergraduate students,
Clinical Preceptorship in Bioengineering. This course introduces
students to important research problems at the interface of
engineering and medicine.
Many more research opportunities are available. |
