"The Bioengineering program at Santa Clara University provided me with wonderful opportunities to explore and develop my interests in the fields of biotechnology and biomedical engineering. As an undergraduate, I wanted to pursue my dreams of studying medical devices in a smaller, close-knit setting led by engaging professors and offering great facilities. With the encouragement and guidance of professors, I was able to deepen my understanding of topics ranging from bioimaging to biomaterials and medical device design and development through numerous research projects. In both undergraduate and graduate programs, the classes are taught by passionate faculty whose expertise aligns with the current industry, which ultimately helped me to prepare for internships and job opportunities in the field. My decision to remain at Santa Clara University for my graduate education centered around the desire to continue learning from advanced studies in such a personable and supportive environment. As a medical device engineer, the skills and knowledge that I’ve gained from the Bioengineering program through coursework and research projects have been invaluable for my job performance. The experience could not have been more memorable and I will always be thankful to the faculty for their guidance!"
