Biomedical Engineering Society
Purpose
UNC Charlotte Biomedical Engineering Society
The Biomedical Engineering Society at UNC Charlotte is dedicated to advancing the field by building a supportive, inclusive community that empowers the next generation of engineers. We foster innovation and professional growth by providing hands-on projects, professional development opportunities, and community outreach that bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world engineering application.
Mini BEE and Community Impact
Develop your technical toolkit through our specialized workshop series and the "Mini-BEE" events designed to build core engineering and professional skills.
BMES Projects
We compete annually in the prestigious Medtronic Medical Design Competition at the National BMES Conference. Our members gain hands-on engineering experience in the Super Fab Lab, where we are currently building an advanced prosthetic arm and a companion robot named Art-E.
Networking & Interdisciplinary Events
Expand your network by engaging with peers and industry professionals through cross-club collaborations and joint professional development sessions.
Our highlights
Projects
We compete each year in the Medtronic Medical Design Competition at the National BMES Conference.
Our current builds include a prosthetic arm and a companion robot named Art-E.
Join us in the Super Fab Lab. Fall meeting details are coming soon.
Mini BEE outreach
Created with Honeywell, Mini BEE introduces K-12 students to biomedical engineering through hands-on kits and activities.
We work with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, Society of Women Engineers, and Discovery Place.
The program gives local students an approachable first look at engineering.
Professional development
We work with alumni, industry professionals, the College of Engineering, and the Office of Undergraduate Research.
Members get access to engineering and networking events on and off campus.
These connections help members prepare for careers in biomedical engineering and related fields.
