Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers

For me, my time during each day was split between lab work and desk work; part of the day I would test medical devices and execute various protocols, while the other part of my day would be analyzing that data at my computer and writing up an engineering report. Meetings would also take place alm...

Most of the student intern positions at Sanford are run by the education outreach office which intends to hire undergraduate students, so the interviews are not technical. Positions for graduates may include technical interviews, so a review of electronics is probably a good idea. If you are unsu...

Student interns are expected to work regular hours (8-5), unless otherwise indicated by their department supervisors. As an electrical engineer working in research, I mostly worked on software development for a new experiment protocol. I also worked with patients by conducting data collection for...

Work hours for me were 8:30-5:00 but this depends on lab and supervisors' schedules. Work consisted of mostly computer programming in MATLAB and also gathering patient data, with some time spent on other activities such as journal club and other events. Other interns' projects involved wet lab ex...

Like any undergraduate REU, the focus is on your research and technical background. Convey interest in the project, communicate relevant skills, and make sure to do read up on the lab's papers to be able to have an intelligent conversation about the research you may be selected to do.

I believe that the standard compensation for Medtronic interns in Miami is around $24/hr.

I found that highlighting your eagerness to learn new skills and solve real problems can be key in an interview. As an intern, you should acknowledge that you won't know everything coming in (this is expected), but are up to the challenge. Highlight problem-solving experiences and take the interv...

Best way to prepare for an interview with NASA is to do your research about the position, the branch it is in and the specific projects they are working on. All this information can be found online through their official NASA Ames Research Center website.

NASA provides the needed tools and a learning environment for one to thrive on academically and professionally. A lot of resources are thrown your way to ensure you have the most support one can have during the duration of the internship. Ames Research Center is a great campus which allows one to...

Being a bioengineering researcher was one of the most fun work experiences that I have had. As a researcher you get to ask difficult questions that interest you, and go out exploring to try and find the answer. In contrast with to many other engineering jobs, the goal of being a researcher is to ...

Bioengineering labwork is very flexible at Stanford, but it also depends on the demands of the specific lab you are placed in. My experience was extremely enjoyable and formative, and I learned many hands-on skills that have allowed me to pursue further internship opportunities here at Berkeley. ...

As a traditional reservist, only one weekend a month, you perform different tasks. Respiratory protection fit tests, air sampling, sound sampling, hazard communication inspection, training other shop personal in different BEE requirements. As active duty is more responsibility and more daily work...

Be prepared to follow along with the chemical processes they do in the lab, (brush up on your chemistry). But, also be prepared to answer personal questions. When I interviewed there, they were also concentrating on whether or not your personality would fit in with the rest of the group because i...

Most of the day will be taken up by production. If it is a 'mix' day, you will be spending it in the lab and making the contact lenses. If it is not a 'mix' day, you will be moving the batches that have been made previously through the different steps needed to release them, which also includes q...

At the facility where I work, a typical day involves conducting a portion of a large animal study. At the beginning of the day, I have to make sure that all the equipment is setup correctly, and the personnel involved are ready to perform their tasks. Once everything is ready, we perform the expe...
