The BMES at UCF 's COE is a new society officially beginning Fall 1999. The purpose of the society is to promote awareness of biomedical engineering as a discipline and as a profession. UCF does not offer a degree in biomedical engineering, however students of all disciplines can benefit greatly from the activities within the society.
Biomedical engineering prepares the engineer for work in biology and in medicine.
Biomedical engineering is very diverse and covers a large variety of sub-disciplines. Here at UCF, we are using the DRPL facilities to create physical medical models from CT and MRI data. The society will have meetings , guest speakers , possible conference trips, and, yes, free food. Beginning in August there will be a regular schedule for meetings and activities. Our faculty advisors, Dr. Yasser Hosni , of IEMS and Dr. Jamal Nayfeh , of MMAE and our officers will make this upcoming year a fun-filled and meaningful year.
