Meet the M.Eng. project team developing a tissue fusion system that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to repair partial tears of the meniscus. Read more

"My design team and I [are modeling] a live-imaging system that uses cancer-targeting nanoparticles and artificial intelligence to improve the visual fidelity of ultrasound technology. Our project ultimately supports the accurate detection of cancerous tissue in real-time for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes." Read more

"I chose Cornell for its BME M.Eng. program, which encourages a breadth of coursework, multiple “tracks”/emphases, and has a focus on innovation, supported by renowned faculty and researchers." Read more

Cai’s interest in engineering led her to choose surgery as a specialty because of the very hands-on aspect you get when working with surgical patients. Read more

"The M.Eng. design project gave me the opportunity to work in a team throughout the year and think out of the box to come up with creative solutions to clinical problems." Read more

"Cornell taught me how to think and tackle complex problems with no obvious solution. Instilling a disciplined, yet open and connected approach to problem solving helped me think about issues in ways that others may not have." Read more

"Cornell’s lab facilities, faculty expertise and industry relations were a great opportunity for me to not only expand my intellectual knowledge but also to meet and work with some of the smartest and most driven students from across the world." Read more

"In the clinical preceptorship for biomedical engineers course, students learn essential health lessons and see the dynamics of a clinical environment first-hand." Read more

"The core courses of the M.Eng were critical in helping sharpen my foundational knowledge of BME, and elective courses such “Entrepreneurship for Scientists and Engineers” played a big role in me pursuing a start-up post Cornell." Read more
