Bring Your Project to Life
Are you a clinician, patient, or other user of biomedical technology with an idea for an engineering design project?
The EiS program is specifically designed to put you in contact with the next generation of leaders in biomedical engineering who are looking to develop new and transformational therapies and devices.
EiS students come with a wealth of training and experience in engineering and biology experience and training ready to take your innovation from idea to impact, and explore what’s possible at the forefront of the field.
How It Works
After Submission
Once you have submitted your project proposal, EiS students will research each idea with your input and rank them using a formal process that considers the potential impact of each project, as well as the skills and priorities of each team, which may include entrepreneurial goals. Once projects are selected, each design team will work on a chosen idea under the mentorship and guidance of experienced professors, med-tech innovators, and business experts.
