When Perales came to Boston University to study electrical and biomedical engineering—the first in her family to go to college—she looked for ways to have an immediate impact.
This past year, Perales applied for a BU College of Engineering–affiliated program, Research Engineering and Mentoring-Includes (REM-Includes), designed to give first-generation and low-income college students their first taste of lab time.
