Senior design is a required capstone course where UT Austin biomedical engineering students work in teams to solve engineering problems on behalf of real companies and products. Hands-on learning is incorporated throughout all years of the biomedical engineering curriculum, culminating in this year-long partnership between student teams, a faculty advisor, and project sponsors, which could include companies, physicians, or researchers.
BME information:
