Biomedical Engineering Society

National Engineering Network

Established in 1968, the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) is the professional society for students, faculty, researchers, and industry professionals in biomedical engineering. Our mission — to promote a collaborative and inclusive community to advance human health through education, discovery, and translation — drives our research and educational initiatives, including webinars, chapter programs, and meetings.

Valpo’s student branch of BMES serves as a professional organization for all bioengineering students (not just those in the biomedical engineering track). It is very active in professional development and outreach to K-12 students to get them interested in bioengineering as a career.
