Biomedical Engineering at Rensselaer offers you the opportunity to...
-
Explore your interests
- Identify your goals
- Engage in groundbreaking research with faculty who are renowned leaders in their respective areas of study.
Research Network
BME research at Rensselaer involves three schools within the Institute and interactions with many local, regional, national and international institutions. These include Albany Medical College, Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute, the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Universite de Montreal, Johns Hopkins, Stanford University, Union College and many other academic and clinical institutions.
Small and personal without compromising opportunities
As technology continues to advance, so do the opportunities within Biomedical Engineering (BME). BME's relatively small size allows for a unique one-on-one interaction between our faculty and students.
Today, our expanded research areas include:
Clear Objectives
Our Undergraduate Objectives serve to clearly define the Department’s educational goals and expectations for and of our students, along with the measures and outcomes needed to achieve both.
Internship and Co-op Opportunities
Our department encourages and promotes internship and co-op opportunities to expose our students to the bio-based industries during the formative years of their academic experience and to allow them to apply their training and education to real-world engineering and research practice. 
Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Rensselaer's Undergraduate Research Program (URP) affords students the opportunity to further define their area of interest and to participate in groundbreaking research conducted by our faculty.
Supportive Students
The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) organizes activities to promote the exchange of ideas among students, to facilitate biomedical engineering-oriented and social events, and to enhance job preparation skills and opportunities.
Great Environment!
We're a friendly, activity-packed university, surrounded by New York's Capitol Region, and just a short drive from the Adirondack and Green Mountains. And our dynamic four-season area offers activities and entertainment to suit every taste and interest.
