5/28/2009: Biomedical Engineering will receive a $280,000 award package from the HP Innovations in Education program to use in its high-tech design studio and teaching laboratory. With the funds, the department will use technologies such as wireless HP Tablet PCs and wide-format HP DesignJet printers, as well as remote access to high-power HP Blade Workstations, to assist students in the design and testing of biomedical devices. "This will greatly improve our educational facilities and will allow our students to explore the relationship between theoretical modeling and design," said professor Donald Gaver, department chair. "As such, this will greatly improve our students’ training for work in biomedical engineering industry and government."
4/27/2009: Calling all alumni: To help current students connect with alumni in the workplace, we’ve set up the Tulane Biomedical Engineering group on linkedin.com http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1923837. So far, more than 150 alumni have joined. All Tulane BMEN alumni are asked to register on LinkedIn and to add this group to the profile they create. Alumni can re-connect with friends from Tulane, and our students will be able to see the diversity of career paths that our graduates follow.
