Concept map of BBSI training activities. Students exploring graduate work in bioengineering (either bioengineers or students from non-bio-related engineering majors, science, and math) are paired with faculty mentors in bioengineering, chemistry, engineering science, and medicine. Faculty are encouraged to explore ways in which workshop activities can be incorporated into student projects. Post-BBSI, students have enhanced their graduate applications and learned new bioengineering methodologies.
