Our application for the fall 2026 semester will open soon.

We typically recruit in the first weeks of each semester. You will have to fill out both our team specific application and the Cornell Engineering general project team application. Throughout the application process, if you would like to learn more about being a part of a specific subteam, come to one of our info sessions or sign up for coffee chats.

In a short answer: no. Coffee chats are a way to learn more about our team via an informal 1 on 1 meeting with a current member. They will not positively or negatively impact your application to our team. We plan on having a coffee chat session following our in-person information session, so feel free to come out and meet some of our members!

The application process includes submitting an application, and then upon review, you may be offered an interview in the next week. The interview will consist of two portions: individual and group. It may also help to attend one of our information sessions to learn more about the team before filling out the application.

In looking for candidates, while established skill sets may help, we prioritize an interest and willingness to learn all designing aspects related to biomedical design. Skill sets that may be helpful are listed in the application form, where we also ask you to elaborate on your experience with those skills.

This fall semester, we are additionally looking for members who can contribute to our media team for team promotion and website editing.
