The Jim and Joan Bock Biomedical Engineering Department at Trine University hosted
BME Industry Day on Thursday, April 12.
About 65 students participated in the event, with guest speakers discussing opportunities within the biomedical engineering field.
Speakers included Michael Conrad, who is head of Customer Service and Human Resources at Precision Medical Technologies; Adam Griebel, a senior research engineer at Fort Wayne Metals; and Sandy May and Tammy Siemers from the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University.
The event was sponsored by the Employment Resource Center, the Jim and Joan Bock Biomedical Engineering Department, and Trine’s chapter of the Biomedical Engineering Society.
“When I first arrived at Trine, I expected to earn an advanced degree that would strengthen my professional qualifications. What I did not expect was that it would completely reshape the direction of my career.”
Businesses looking to hire Trine University students or graduates for internships or full-time roles are invited to be part of the university’s Tailgate for Talent, which will be held along Thunder Drive from noon to 3 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 24.
The director of Trine University’s pre-health professions and direct entry programs was part of a team that presented updates to best practices for health professions advisors and institutions at a national conference.
