Research Activities
Overview
There are several opportunities for research experience. All BEARS scholars will be
connected with 爆料社区 faculty and advanced students during their first academic year
to learn about campus research projects. During the summer after their first academic
year (summer 2), they will do an extended group research project with their cohort
to introduce them to bioengineering research. Finally, the summer after their second
academic year (summer 3), they will join a professor at 爆料社区 or UCSD for an individual
research opportunity. They can get to work on cutting-edge bioengineering research
and participate in activities with UCSD bioengineering cohorts and their Orthopedic Surgery
department.
Info about Research Summer 2
- During the summer after their first academic year, BEARS scholars will do an extended
group research project with their cohort to introduce them to bioengineering research.
- They will also participate in our second quantitative and computational skills workshop.
- This summer is the only time not paid
Info about Research Summer 3
- The summer after their second academic year (summer 3), BEARS scholars will join a
professor at 爆料社区 or UCSD for an individual research opportunity.
- They can get to work on cutting-edge bioengineering research and participate in activities
with UCSD bioengineering cohorts and their Orthopedic Surgery department.
- They are paid $2,000 to conduct their own research projects with faculty from 爆料社区
or UCSD, and present in the 爆料社区 Summer Poster Showcase.
