FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RUTGERS UNIVERSITY PRESENTS THE BIOMEDICAL INDUSTRIAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM FOR SUMMER 2006
Piscataway, New Jersey, January 2006. A pool of talented students is available to work as interns in an industrial setting. Please click on the Rutgers University Biomedical Engineering link http://bme.rutgers.edu/resume.php to view a table that provides a brief description of each student. You may click on the students' names to view their resumes.
The Rutgers University Biomedical Engineering (BME) industrial internship program is designed to integrate academic and industrial paradigms and to encourage industrial input and participation into the development and training of a growing population of talented biomedical engineers.
Our summer internship program matches undergraduate and graduate students with companies in the local area, as well as nationwide. The program is limited to declared undergraduate BME majors in good standing who have completed, at least, their sophomore year and graduate students who have completed their first year of study by the beginning of the internship. Rutgers University is mirroring a national trend in which a majority of high performing students are gravitating to BME as a profession.
Students follow a formal application process and are matched with an industrial partner based on a number of criteria including previous research experience, technical skills, academic performance and, if requested, letters of recommendation.
The prospective interns' qualifications are reviewed by industrial mentors in conjunction with the BME faculty and staff, based on project descriptions supplied by the mentors. The matched candidates are forwarded to the companies for final approval. Interviews may be arranged.
The program is very flexible. The BME department is happy to work with companies individually to meet their specific needs. The students and their mentors can define the particular time duration as well as commencement and completion dates. The program is designed to last between 8 and 12 weeks sometime between the end of the spring 2006 semester (end of May) and the beginning of the fall 2006 semester (beginning of September).
Students may be incorporated into ongoing company summer internship programs. However, if industrial internships are not available through the company and the company desires to set up a separate program, we will work with the company to accommodate this contingency.
If you are interested in finding out more about our pool of talented students please contact June Yarmush at 732 445 5728 or .
