BME’s Industrial Internship Program provides opportunities for BME undergraduates
to experience real-world problem solving in biomedical engineering, biotechnology,
and medical device companies. Most students participate after their third year.
They work full-time at the corporate site and are compensated $4,000, on average,
for a ten-week summer internship. After the internship, students present on their
summer’s work at a BME-sponsored event. We have placed 66 student interns since
the program began in 2000.
Our corporate partners benefit from the engineering skills, current knowledge and
leadership abilities of our students, as they identify new talent and potential future
employees. Both corporate hosts and BME students report the internship is very
productive and an excellent experiential educational opportunity.
