At Cornell’s Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering, students in the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program are learning to navigate healthcare innovation through technical design, collaboration and clinical insight.
That approach was on display during the school’s 10th annual Industry Engagement Day and Project Showcase, held on campus May 15. Organized by Newton de Faria, director of the M.Eng. program, the event brought together students, alumni, faculty, clinicians, industry professionals and corporate partners to celebrate the next generation of biomedical engineering leaders.
The day featured student design demonstrations, poster sessions, industry networking, project presentations, a startup-style pitch competition and panel discussions focused on career development and the future of healthcare technology.
