Sochima Bishop"I really appreciate the breadth of research in the BME department. Last semester I took three great classes: Principles of Drug Delivery (w/ Dr. Putnam), Stem Cell Engineering (w/ Dr. Cosgrove), and Immuno-engineering."
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."
Lee Puckett"Cornell University is an esteemed institution willing to provide resources to ensure that each student can make the most out of their educational experience."
What I like the most is 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 has helped me develop my skills and I feel ready and comfortable to enter the workforce
