The program welcomes these students to explore the University and its resources in order to broaden their educational experience, sharpen academic skills and expose them to University faculty members. Throughout the week, Dr. Vats taught in a small group setting and mentored the students, giving valuable insight into the theories, technologies and principles of biomedical engineering, while also providing hands-on experiences. The course was entitled. “Biomedical technology: Doctor, Engineering, or both.”
