Two students wearing conference badges stand beside a research poster during a poster presentation session. One student gestures while explaining the project, while the other listens nearby. The poster displays diagrams, technical illustrations, and research findings related to optical coherence tomography and vestibular imaging.

The People Behind the Project

A team of bioengineering undergraduates share how the successes they achieved in redesigning an innovative hearing-loss diagnostic tool were made possible through guidance and mentorship from faculty members and real-world feedback and resources from industry.

A transparent engineering prototype with visible internal tubing, gears, and mechanical components is held by a researcher above an optical laboratory workbench. The clear housing reveals the device’s internal structure, highlighting its use for experimental testing and instrumentation development.

From Prototype to Prime-Time

A team of bioengineering students reveal some of the biggest challenges it faced in transforming a hearing-loss diagnostic tool from a 20-pound device to a redesign weighing less than a pound-and-a-half “that people are excited to use.”
Five students wearing matching black polo shirts stand around a display screen showing a research poster. The group poses for a photo in a conference or laboratory setting, presenting an engineering project with technical diagrams, data visualizations, and research findings.

At Harvard-MIT, alumna Kimberly Bennett is researching treatment for pediatric brain tumors through three fellowships from the Ford Foundation, the National Science Foundation and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Engineering students receiving a total of $46,000 in scholarships were encouraged to connect outside the classroom

Our scholars got dollars. Nearly 40 future engineers received financial support this past academic year in the form of scholarship awards ranging largely between $1,000 and $2,500. While this financial support assists Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE) students in covering some of the costs of their education, the scholarship-application process is meant...
