Following his tour of the CFI, Goehring met and heard presentations about biotechnology and medical devices from UND’s Biomedical Engineering program, as well as the innovative educational philosophy employed by faculty members within the department. This philosophy, known as innovation-based learning, has first-year students working on real-life problems in biomedical engineering. Students also have abundant opportunities to engage in internships from companies in North Dakota and beyond.

UND has been awarded a $7.6 million Other Transaction Authority contract by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command  Soldier Center to develop an innovative Contamination and Sanitation Inspection system.

Last spring, UND’s Office of Research and Economic Development established the Early Career Scholars Program (ECSP), a project designed to kick-start the careers of researchers transitioning from Ph.D. and postdoc programs to full-time faculty. Hallie Chelmo and Bo Liang, College of Engineering & Mines faculty elected as Early Career Scholars, presented their findings and updates on future funding opportunities in front of an audience of their peers.

There are several strategic objectives embedded within the Learning core value, and UND’s Biomedical Engineering program is creatively engaging with them – by standing the traditional model of “learning” on its head.

In a collaborative effort to tackle nursing challenges and burnout, the Future of Nursing (FuN) Bootcamp took place from August 7th to 11th at the University of North Dakota’s BioInnovation Zone (BiZ) in Columbia Hall. This event brought together students and faculty members from three universities to brainstorm, innovate, and develop solutions that hold the potential to reshape the nursing landscape.

With a dedication to pioneering solutions for gas and water separation, as well as cutting-edge advancements in biomedical materials and tissue engineering, this group is shaping the future of technology, industry, and healthcare.

UND Biomedical Engineering joins elite research group, gets federal funding to develop in-place care The Biomedical Engineering program at UND has been accepted into a multi-university research group that is working to develop healthcare technologies for in-place care, and has received funding from the National Science Foundation to advance those efforts. As of July 15, […]

Visitors to the Memorial Union Ballroom on Tuesday, May 2 might have encountered an electric bicycle zooming across their path, before noticing a large rocket standing in a corner, robotic devices, a small bridge and a race car simulator, among myriad other displays.

Kordell Tan, a graduate student in Biomedical Engineering at the UND College of Engineering & Mines, has won the American College of Clinical Engineering (ACCE) Student Paper Competition, in the US/Canada Doctorate Division.

Dr. Tavakolian, director of the biomedical engineering program at the University of North Dakota College of Engineering & Mines, has been co-leading groundbreaking research on space travel’s effects on astronauts’ cardiorespiratory systems. He and his team have been working on the CARDIOBREATH project, tracking changes in how astronauts’ cardiovascular and respiratory systems control their blood pressure.
