aculty-Student Research Many engineering students conduct research with professors – and their work can be groundbreaking. Recently, three mechanical engineering students and their professor created a magnetic device that can capture energy from a beating heart to power a device such as a pacemaker.
St. Thomas offered a ton of scholarships, a lot of opportunities, research and a chance to land a good job in the cities. - Tyler Dennis, ‘25 biomedical engineering minor
