A Tech Forward Education
Stevens' biomedical engineering faculty is the best part of the school; the professors are intelligent, willing to engage in discussion instead of simply laying down the law. Furthermore, faculty are highly helpful to students wanting to become engaged in research, such as Drs. Antonia Zaferiou and McConnell; there are very few students who did not enjoy one or even both of those professors.

Biomedical Engineering Student
I was really grateful for the opportunity to perform innovative research with faculty who were excellent mentors. Because of this, I obtained my position as associate project engineer at The Institute of Musculoskeletal Science & Education (IMSE), which designs and develops spinal implants and instrumentation.
