Engineering Oriented Student Organizations
More info coming soon...
Brown Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) is dedicated to serve students and promote biomedical engineering on campus. Through activities such as social functions, laboratory tours, and presentation by industry speakers, BMES informs students concerning their academic and post-graduation careers, facilitates faculty-students interactions, and builds a sense of community among BMEs. In previous years, BMES has sponsored trips to local companies, an intercollegiate social in partnership with the BMES of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, as well as a trip to the national Biomedical Engineering Conference at Chicago.
Engineers Without Borders (EWB) is an organization committed to working on socially- responsible engineering projects and educating students and professionals about such opportunities. The Brown Chapter has been around for three years in which time local projects have been done both on campus and in Providence. The group is now beginning work on its first international project-- designing a health clinic in Peru. For more information see their website.
