Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate Research Program
The Biomedical Engineering Research Program (BURP) is organized by biomedical engineering graduate students and faculty. The transdisciplinary program supports students across multiple faculties and labs across campus and equips them with the necessary skills and information to have a fun and successful summer research term. Students have the opportunity to refine their research skills, explore resources provided by the university, and get to know other students and researchers within the university community. Students are supported by BME Summer Studentships, PURE Awards, or NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards.
BME Summer Studentships
Every year BME Calgary partners with different groups across campus for undergraduate students to work on biomedical engineering-related projects with the purpose of fostering collaborations.
