Corporate

Industry is a full partner in Biomedical Engineering. The Executive Advisory Board was formed in 1999 and is comprised of senior executives representing a range from start-up to major biomedical device and diagnostics companies, venture capital, consulting firms, and professional service providers. The board meets quarterly to assist academic leadership several ways.

Curriculum Development: The Board advises UCI on its strong interest in the establishment of a biomedical engineering minor and new specializations to complement the major at the undergraduate level. Industry sponsorship of specific project assignments in new design and independent study courses has been implemented with reassurance that proprietary rights waivers by students are appropriate where warranted by the subject matter.
