REU program dates announced: May 23rd to August 1st, 2026!
The REU Site: Engineering for Healthcare provides experiential learning to participants on critical engineering challenges in healthcare. REU Participants will (i) perform customized, hands-on research activities, guided by engineering mentors, (ii) gain or improve foundational research and other skills via training and workshops, (iii) learn about high-priority engineering challenges in healthcare via seminars and field trips to industry and medical/clinical facilities, (iv) disseminate their research results, and (v) establish a long-lasting network of research peers. REU Participants will attend seminars and go on field trips to industry and medical/clinical facilities. As a result of this REU experience, which will be customizable to individuals in the program, REU Participants will be better prepared to explore research as a future career and make career decisions regarding industry, government laboratory/agency, graduate school or medical school.
This REU Site is supported by the National Science Foundation via Awards #2446983 (renewal) and #1757128 (original).
