There were many aspects of this research program that I enjoyed. The program hosted many seminars with guest speakers that talked about their journeys into their field, there were career and graduate preparation workshops, and industry tours. Aside from those benefits provided by the program, I had the chance to work closely with a research team in the biomedical engineering department. This experience made a big impact on my future education plans and narrow down my graduate school choices.
