Each student should meet with his/her advisor to determine how many hours of research per week will be expected. Research done during the fall or spring semester is typically unpaid, and may be done with or without receiving academic credit. Any expectation of payment and the amount should be discussed with the advisor. Any student who receives payment for research cannot receive academic credit.

If the research is done for academic credit, the student should register for the appropriate number of units 42-x00 Biomedical Engineering Research Project or 39-500 CIT Honors Thesis (if applicable). Each unit should correspond to one hour per week of research. For instance, 9 units of research corresponds to 9 hours of research per week. Please note that only a total of 9 units of research (42-x00 or 39-500) will be counted as a restricted elective toward the BME additional major. Students should discuss with their advisor to determine the best time to take research for credit.

In order to receive a final grade for 42-x00, a brief research summary (two to three pages) must be submitted to the Associate Department Head by the last day of classes.

Course Details

Course Structure

The Biomedical Engineering curriculum is comprised of three parts: the Biomedical Engineering core, the Biomedical Engineering tracks, and the Biomedical Engineering capstone design course. The core exposes Biomedical Engineering students to multiple facets of Biomedical Engineering and builds a common background in life sciences.

Internships

The Summer Undergraduate Internship Program in Biomedical Engineering (BMESURP) invites the application of BME undergraduate majors for paid summer Internship. Through this program, students will spend a ten-week period as a full-time researcher in a biomedical engineering research laboratory either on campus at Carnegie Mellon University or off campus with affiliated faculty members in a local medical center.

Requirements

Research & Technical Papers

Undergraduate research opportunities allow Biomedical Engineering students to apply their engineering and science skills to real life biomedical research in various fields. The research may be performed in either on-campus or off-campus, directed by a BME core, courtesy, or adjunct faculty member.

Campus & Alumni Community

Biomedical Engineering started a dramatic transformation in 2002, when it grew from a program into an independent Department. While we greatly value the long history of our predecessor programs and the large number of outstanding alumni of these programs, the multiple transitions since 1965 also present a challenge in building a complete record of all the alumni, in reaching out to them, and in helping them to network with each other.
