Applied to University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University at College Station. I was admitted by A&M and now I'm just waiting on UT (UT is the goal).

I wondered if you could please give me me a perspective on what the robotics labs are like and how easy it is to find co-op opportunities through WPI. I'm interested in majoring in bio-medical engineering. Thank You!

The robotics labs are awesome. The labs for undergraduate classes are open 24/7 and have all of the parts and tools you will need. Usually a TA is around for help too. The projects themselves are in groups, are very intense and have a tight deadline. Every project I have done so far has had a direct application that I have used in my previous internship.

WPI has several research robotics labs. I am a member of the DRC lab (DARPA's/Boston Dynamic's Atlas robot). We have several undergrads that are contributing directly to the project. One of the sophomores already has had his work on Atlas published! Check out the website for more detail:

Co-ops and internships are easy to find. The career fair is huge for the size of our school. The CDC is extremely helpful during the whole process, from making a resume to comparing offers from companies.

As for bio-medical engineering, you should check out the Life Sciences and Bioengineering center at Gateway Park. We recently recieved a couple of grants from the NSF for robots in the fight against Ebola.
