Undergraduate Students
Music has a way of bringing people together in the same shared experience. But for more than 11 million Americans who are deaf or hard of hearing, live concerts don’t always offer that same sense of inclusion. A group of seniors in the Biomedical Engineering Program (BME) at Â鶹ÊÓƵ are working to change that by designing a set of closed caption glasses during their senior capstone design class.
On freezing mountain tracks and icy slopes around the world, elite para-athletes are constantly pushing their bodies to the limit. But in subzero conditions, that pursuit comes with unique risks that aren’t always easy to detect. A team of seniors in the Biomedical Engineering Program (BME) at Â鶹ÊÓƵ are working to change that by designing a residual limb warmer for winter para-athletes during their senior capstone design course.
A team of BME students created a leg sleeve device designed to help para-athletes on Team USA. They will be debuting the novel design at a national competition in April.
Six students and researchers from the Biomedical Engineering Program (BME) presented their work on joint damage, arthritis, heart problems, and tissue defects at this year’s Biomedical Engineering Society 2025 Annual Meeting in San Diego.
The project, like something straight out of a health sci-fi movie, combines RNA-based gene therapy with tiny microrobots for drug transport to help treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Researchers in the Shields lab, including a BME undergraduate researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder have created a new way to build and control tiny particles that can move and work like microscopic robots, offering a powerful tool with applications in biomedical and environmental research.
Thursday, May 8, 2025 was a day of celebration, as students, families, friends, and faculty gathered to honor this momentous occasion. This event marked the culmination of years of hard work and dedication with an eye to a future full of promise. This graduating class is poised to make a meaningful impact in the world of biomedical science - whether in academia, industry or healthcare.
This year, 14 Biomedical Engineering (BME) Program senior design teams joined the College of Engineering & Applied Science Senior Expo to showcase their projects, a culmination of work that spanned two semesters.
Students in BME's Bioinstrumentation course shared their team projects at the 2nd Annual Bioinstrumentation Expo. This semester-long course helps students to design a device with clinical applications. It allows students to use their creativity and the skills gained throughout the course. For the judging, this year, we were joined by program alumni from the first BME graduating class. All of the students are to be congratulated!
Seven students from the Biomedical Engineering program (BME) have earned graduating student awards from the College of Engineering and Applied Science in 2025. These awards honor seniors who are nominated by faculty, staff or fellow students for their outstanding contributions to the college and campus community.
