Global student impact

A summer in Germany pays off for 
biomedical engineering undergraduate

Matthew Aronson, a senior majoring in biomedical engineering at Penn State, spent the summer of 2019 in Germany as a scholar in the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) Research Internships in Science and Engineering (RISE) program. Aronson, from Newtown, Pennsylvania, was one of approximately 300 undergraduates from North America, Great Britain, and Ireland selected from nearly 2,000 applications to conduct research at top German universities and institutions. >>
Exposure to major video series: Biomedical engineering

Discover what makes our undergraduate program, and biomedical engineering, great

Biomedical engineers are in a unique position to bridge the gap between medical professionals and the engineering community. They apply traditional engineering skills and analysis to understand biological systems. Biomedical engineering emphasizes the integration of classical and modern engineering principles with the life sciences and health care.
