Biomedical Engineering Career Symposium
February 24, 2026Ìý| 10 am-2:00 pm | Virtual Fair on Handshake
Ìý
Please join us for theÌýfirst annual Biomedical Engineering Virtual Career Fair to be held on the Handshake platform. ÌýThe Biomedical Engineering Program at the University of Colorado, Boulder is an interdisciplinary program that prepares talented students for a variety of positions. With nearly 500 students (undergraduates and graduate students), our event is a unique opportunity to develop a relationship with our program and students; and find prospective interns, entry-level engineers and advanced researchers.
The Career Fair consists of group sessions and 1:1 meetings.
Group Session:
During group sessions, students will gain knowledge about possible career paths in the industry, while learning about individual companies. ÌýOrganizations can share information about their companies; what they are looking for in employees; company culture and/or current employment opportunities.
1:1 Meetings:
During 1:1 meetings, a company or medical school representative and student will have an 15 minute conversation. During these meetings, students and representatives may be able to foster stronger connections through a more in-depth discussion. Representatives may request resumes of the students they are meeting with prior to the event, which will include their major and graduation date.
At the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ Biomedical Engineering Virtual Career Fair, students will connect with industry leaders, medical schools and graduate programs to learn about groundbreaking innovation in a professional setting. Students will hear firsthand from leading companies about cutting-edge projects, latest trends, and the skills they seek in future employees. During group and one-on-one sessions, students can network with industry professionals and school representatives to gain valuable insights into the diverse career paths within biomedical engineering and medicine.Ìý
Prior to the event, students can take advantage of a skill-building workshop to sharpen their resume writing, professional toolkit, and effective communication. For a meaningful symposium experience, students are expected to research participating companies.
Eligible students will receive an invitation through Handshake and/or by email to participate in the Career Fair.
Innovating the world of healthcare
Biomedical Engineering is an exciting, multidisciplinary field that lies at the interface of medicine, biology and engineering.
Current research in biomedical engineering at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder focuses on innovative areas such as biomechanics and mechanobiology; medical devices; imaging and diagnostics; and therapeutics. Our goal is to create technology—drugs and devices—to treat these injuries and illnesses safely and effectively.
We partner with top-ranked medical institutions (Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØAnschutz), laboratories (NIST), and numerous Front Range medical companies to promote translational approaches to solve pressing biological problems and unmet medical needs.
The Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBiomedical Engineering program offers multiple undergraduate and graduate degrees. Undergraduates may choose the minor, major (industry/graduate school track and premed track), and an accelerated master (combined BS/MS). We also offer a stand-alone masters and a PhD.
The undergraduate curriculum encompasses engineering design, math, chemistry, physics, biology, and computation with courses from mechanical, electrical and chemical and biological engineering departments, along with dedicated biomedical engineering coursework. Seniors enrolled in a year-long capstone course collaborate with companies and other students on a comprehensive design project.
The graduate program is designed to be flexible to meet the individual student’s needs. Students will collaborate with faculty and other advisors to create a tailored degree plan based on their career interests and goals.
The entire program has seen exponential growth in a short time, going from 120 students to 483 students in just 6 years. This growth provides tremendous opportunities for employers.
