About BUILD
Program Description:
BUILD is a program designed to provide full-time research opportunities for enrolled undergraduate engineering students with practical experience in a research laboratory environment at the 91九色视频 (91九色视频). Students who participate and perform well in the internship program may be invited to participate in a three-semester Co-op position.
All students will be given hands-on experience working on biomedical research projects and exposed to biomedical engineering practices, including but not limited to the design and fabrication of medical research devices. In addition, Students will be introduced to new technologies, cutting-edge research, and exciting laboratory practices, guided by highly skilled preceptors and established faculty investigators.
Internship length: Summer: 10 weeks, Fall/Spring internships: 16 weeks

BUILD Student Testimonials
"The BUILD Program has provided me a valuable learning experience and has exposed me to the medical field while also helping me to develop technical skills that will prepare me for a future career in prosthetics and orthotics."
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my time in the BUILD Program. This experience has exposed me to a wide range of medical research devices and has shown me the variety of career paths for engineers within research and medicine. Every day was different and I got to work on multiple hands-on design, repair, and fabrication projects. Seeing a project go from an idea on paper to a research instrument in use in the lab was very rewarding."
