Student Input Survey results

Every spring the Department of Bioengineering solicits feedback from all declared undergraduate bioengineering majors with our Bioengineering Student Input Survey. Since 2015 this data has informed our decision making on issues of curriculum, advising, undergraduate research, career preparation, social and cultural events, and more! A high response rate is crucial to collecting meaningful data.
