Police officers and federal law enforcement agents have made it their life’s work to protect the public and pursue justice on behalf of the victims. But in many cases, they can’t fulfill this mission without the invaluable contributions of forensic scientists. Forensic science is an exciting and rewarding career path that could be right for you if you have a passion for serving others and an interest in cutting-edge technology.

If you study, teach or work in the engineering department, chances are that you know Cory Cathrea. The junior electrical engineering major and president of the GCU IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Student Branch is a master networker and quickly made a name for himself on campus. In fact, that’s what drew the San Francisco Bay area native to GCU – in a young, smaller program, he could get involved right away.

The human body is an amazing machine, all of its cogs working together smoothly to optimize daily functioning. While earning a BS in Biology with an Emphasis in Pre-Medicine or a BS in Nutritional Sciences through the College of Science, Engineering and Technology, students at Grand Canyon University will study anatomy and physiology to learn the roles of the systems of the body. Some of these body parts, however, appear to have no important role to the modern human.

During my time in the BS in Biology with an Emphasis in Pre-Medicine program at GCU, I wanted to be as involved as I possibly could while still being able to focus on my studies. However, I did not join any clubs throughout college, preferring to get involved with a research group instead. I wanted to have research experience because it helps with self-learning and forces you to think further into a specific topic.

For our biotechnology research program this year, we are diving deeper into the realm of how to improve on not only the design of the bandage but also what is incorporated into the final product. Over the past two years, we have been working on developing a hydrocolloid bandage infused with essential oils and incorporating additive manufacturing to combine biology and medicine with engineering.
