As part of Undergraduate Research Week, the Cockrell School of Engineering hosted its annual research poster competition on April 9, 2014.
Cockrell School of Engineering students were honored at a reception held
before the annual Honors Day celebration.
Fifteen biomedical engineering students from The University of Texas at Austin recently traveled to Houston to experience moments like these as part of a summer internship program at the Texas Medical Center.
The internship’s goal: give these undergrads and eight at Rice University the rare opportunity to see what it’s like to be a doctor who also conducts research. That often intense dual world is one of their career choices.
The summer program mirrors the career’s intensity, while providing an intimate knowledge of the human body, and exposure to research and to people receiving medical care. In doing so, the internship has been a career stepping stone for former participants.
