A majority of you suggested getting co-ops and internships. But in reality not all striving BME students are able to get them. For those cases, I suggest getting into research on campus, joining professional clubs, and just talking to your advisor about your interests. These are some ways I was able to land an internship and the bases behind this strategy is networking. Connecting with professionals in your field of interest is the best way to start to your career (but that’s just my perspective). Sometimes, just applying online for co-ops and internships isn’t enough as it is a very competitive and selective process. A lot of companies, when they have open positions reach out to our advisors and professors first. If you are referred by them directly, there is a very good chance you will get an interview. You will also be one of the first candidates, which gives you an automatic advantage. So try to be involved as much as you can on campus and grow from there. Keep talking, sharing, and connecting.
