James Bennett"[At]Cornell, I could earn two Ivy League Master’s degrees in two years and launch my career as a successful leader in the biotech industry. It was and is the perfect place for me."
Bayan Alturkestani"In the clinical preceptorship for biomedical engineers course, students learn essential health lessons and see the dynamics of a clinical environment first-hand."
Ashley Townsel"My design team and I [are modeling] a live-imaging system that uses cancer-targeting nanoparticles and artificial intelligence to improve the visual fidelity of ultrasound technology. Our project ultimately supports the accurate detection of cancerous tissue in real-time for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes."
What I liked the most was the opportunity to work on our design project as if we were working in industry . . . to experience how it is going to be when we start working, both technically and collaboratively. Moreover, it helped me develop my skills and I feel ready and comfortable to enter the workforce
