A Tech Forward Education
Stevens' biomedical engineering faculty is the best part of the school; the professors are intelligent, willing to engage in discussion instead of simply laying down the law. Furthermore, faculty are highly helpful to students wanting to become engaged in research, such as Drs. Antonia Zaferiou and McConnell; there are very few students who did not enjoy one or even both of those professors.

Biomedical Engineering Student
Taking classes and conducting research has provided me with a dual aspect to my education. Classes like machine learning and sonified biofeedback helped me gain a better understanding of the lab equipment and develop my thesis. Being in charge of my own research, developing the plan and the end goal, helped me improve my project management skills, which I see being useful in my career.

Biomedical Engineering Student
[My master's education] gave me a lot of exposure to the different types of machines and techniques used in a lab. In addition, the lab meetings have broadened my scope by allowing me to learn about different areas of biomedical research. I hope to apply the knowledge I have gained throughout this experience to research and development.
Jonathan Makris
Biomedical Engineering Graduate
I never thought I would like sitting in a lab coding all the time. Learning to code and then actually using and being fully immersed in it for a whole year has been the best part. It just feels really good to be able to say that you did it and figured it out on your own, like with troubleshooting. Getting results and being able to see that what you’re working on has become something.
