Undergraduate
Industrial Research Fellowship
What is the Industrial Research Fellowship Program?
The Industrial Research Fellowship Program is a program to help students obtain summer research positions in biomedical engineering with potential to extend to Senior Design Projects during the subsequent academic year. This program is made possible by the Donations from the Industrial Supporters of Boston University's Biomedical Engineering Senior Project Program.
Students will work on research project of their choosing in one of the many on campus laboratories or local industry. The student will be able to choose from a listing of projects and laboratories that are available.
If a student is honored by receiving one of these prestigious Fellowships they will receive a $3000 stipend for the Summer and an allowance of up to another $3000 to cover housing costs during the summer or access to on-campus housing at no cost.
Each student will be responsible for presenting a poster at the Undergraduate Research and Industrial Internship Symposium.
The benefits of the Fellowship Program
Students benefit in several ways. They are able to perform summer research that will hopefully segue into a Senior Capstone Project, they are able to refine their bioengineering skills in practical and state-of-the-art areas, learn how their academic knowledge translates to real challenges, learn to work with a scientific team consisting of a hierarchy of experience and expertise, and enhance their marketability to future employers.
