Partners with Industry

BTEC is funded through the University, ENG alumni and friends, and industry partners. Students have the opportunity to work on projects and be considered for internships with our partner companies in one of the nation’s leading biotechnology hubs. Industry partners also help inform the curriculum by advising BTEC on the skills bioengineers need today and by sharing the latest information on product development and high-impact innovations. A representative from each principal industry sponsor, Amgen, C4 Therapeutics, Draper, Novartis, Pfizer, Philips, Takeda and Thermo Fisher Scientific, sits on the BTEC Industrial Advisory Board. Other corporations provide direct financial support, including Lando & Anastasi.
