Biomedical Engineering Career Symposium
October 6, 2025Ìý| 4-7:00 pm | Glenn Miller Ballroom | UMC
Ìý
Please join us for theÌýfourth annual Biomedical Engineering Career Symposium to be held at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder campus! The Biomedical Engineering Program at the University of Colorado, Boulder is an interdisciplinary program that prepares talented students for a variety of positions. With nearly 300 students (undergraduates and graduate students) anticipated to be in attendance, our event is a unique opportunity to develop a relationship with our program and students; and find prospective interns and entry-level engineers.
The Career Symposium consists of tabling, demonstrations and 1:1 meetings.
Tabling:
Tables will be set up in the ballroom. ÌýDuring tabling, students will gain knowledge about possible career paths in the industry, while learning about individual companies. ÌýOrganizations can share what they are looking for in employees and/or current employment opportunities.
Demo Description:
The interactive demonstrations will consist of a presentation followed by a Q&A session. Representatives will be able to discuss company achievements, recent developments, company culture, employment opportunities, and more. Demonstrations can include company products and other visual aids. After the presentation, representatives will field questions to encourage a discussion for the students to gain exposure to the industry.
1:1 Description:
During 1:1 meetings, a company or medical school representative and student will have an 8 minute conversation, followed by a 2 minute transition. The meetings will take place in a separate room from the ballroom. In addition, each representative will have their own table, which creates a more private setting. This section of the career symposium is an opportunity for students to gain interview experience. Students and representatives may be able to foster stronger connections through a more in-depth discussion than what is offered solely during tabling. Representatives will be provided with a list of the students they are meeting with prior to the event, which will include their major and graduation year.
ÌýRegistration through Handshake - coming soon
At the University of Colorado Boulder Biomedical Engineering Career Symposium, 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 tabling 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. Additionally, interactive demonstrations within biotechnology will showcase the latest advancements.
Prior to the event, students will be required to attend skill-building workshops to sharpen their resume writing, professional toolkit, and effective communication. For a meaningful symposium experience, students are expected to research participating companies.
Career Workshop date - TBA

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 ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder 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 (¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Anschutz), laboratories (NIST), and numerous Front Range medical companies to promote translational approaches to solve pressing biological problems and unmet medical needs.
The ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Biomedical 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.Ìý
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 442 students in just 5 years. This growth provides tremendous opportunities for employers.
