Undergraduate engineers discover new skills and passions in hands-on summer research projects
This summer, over 20 undergraduate engineering students completed hands-on research projects alongside faculty experts in Marquette’s Opus College of Engineering. These projects offered students the opportunity to practice new technical skills, explore their curiosity and learn from experts in the field.
Thirteen of this year’s undergraduate researchers were supported by the Opus College’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellows (SURF) program. In addition to hands-on laboratory experience, the SURF program also offers a professional development seminar series for students to attend throughout the summer, covering topics from using artificial intelligence in research to communicating technical work to a wider audience…
One of the most exciting aspects of the BME Department is the potential to advance your learning, problem-solving skills and engineering proficiency through exposure to engineering professors, industry mentors and faculty physicians who are working diligently to find solutions to modern health care challenges.
You can divide your time between the Marquette and MCW campuses, as well as clinical partner locations such as Froedtert Hospital, Children’s Wisconsin, the Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin, the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center, Shriners Hospitals for Children and other labs around the world.
Your courses will take place on the main campus of Marquette University. However, you will have access to MCW faculty for specialized courses and experiences, as well as summer medical research programs on the MCW campus.
