Welcome!

Welcome to the web site describing the Rutgers University Biomedical Engineering Industrial Internship Program.

Enabled initially by the generous support of the Whitaker Foundation, the Rutgers Department of Biomedical Engineering provides a dynamic and diverse industrial internship program for its undergraduate and graduate students. Each summer, talented BME students are hosted by industry for 8-12 weeks working on commercially relevant projects. There they gain significant insight into the workings and culture of the modern biomedical industrial environment to augment the traditional education they receive at Rutgers.

BEIIP manages the processes of application, resume review, and interview by the Industrial Internship Program Staff to assess applicable skills and experience. Scientists and other corporate personnel are contacted to ensure appropriate match of candidate student interns to available internship positions. Company interviews are arranged by early spring. Students begin their internships during the month of June, and complete the experience by the end of August. A small group of interns continue to work for the companies after their internships, through part-time employment arrangements made directly by the company, or through the Rutgers School of Engineering Co-op Program. The Co-op program supports students who wish more extensive industrial experience, and requires students to work at the Co-op site for at least 8 months on a full time basis (a summer and a semester).
