Biomedical Engineering Society (Student Chapter)

The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) is responsible for keeping all students well informed of potential course and career options, expediting student-to-faculty connections, and creating an environment in which our members are free to grow and mature, not only academically, but professionally and socially as well. Some events the BMES has planned for the upcoming year include industry tours, on-campus research laboratory tours, and informative panels from both the NJIT faculty and alumni.

The Biomedical Engineering Society helps students explore various career paths, offering guidance and resources to help them make informed decisions about their future. This support not only benefits individual students but also enhances the overall academic and professional reputation of NJIT, contributing to the university’s mission of producing well-rounded, career-ready graduates. Ultimately, BMES strives to inspire and empower NJIT students to explore, innovate, and succeed in the rapidly evolving field of biomedical engineering.
