Stanford University is celebrating 100 years of engineering, commemorating a century of innovation and showcasing the engineering of tomorrow.

Soham Sinha is a Bioengineering Ph.D student at Stanford. He's working on something so science fiction, you would think it was out of a movie.

"Our lab and the entire goal is to 3D print a fully functioning human heart but once we get to that scale, we need a fully functional blood network with it to keep that heart alive," said Sinha. "When you are doing something first of its kind, you're like, 'Oh my God! We're breaking new frontiers where we're at the edge of science where we're no longer pulling ideas from science fiction, you know. Stuff that you only see in the movies and suddenly like, I'm right here where science fiction is reality."
