Engineering Expo and Officer Elections

Hey BMES,

It’s Engineering Expo this week! BMES has a tradition of winning Expo awards and we don’t plan to make this year an exception. We will have our own room with multiple exhibits, such as a surgical robot, finger casting, and an electrospinning demo, in order to showcase what Biomedical Engineering is all about. That being said, Expo is a huge event (8000+ kids are signed up to attend over the three day period!) and we really need all the help we can get to staff our exhibit. If you have some free time and would like to help us out please sign up for a volunteer shift using this Doodle poll here.

Also, if you are interested in becoming a BMES officer for the 2013-2014 school year, nominations will begin this Wednesday at our biweekly General Meeting, and can continue up to the moment of the election. If you would like to know more information about a position, feel free to contact the officer currently holding it; you can find his or her contact information on our Officers page. In accordance with our constitution, elections will be held at our final general meeting of the semester on May 1st. You can run for as many positions as you would like, and the elections will occur in the following order:

President
Vice President
Treasurer
Secretary
Outreach Chair
Industry Research Co-Chair
Social Chair
Department Relations Chair
Polygon Representative/Campus Involvement Chair (Depending on Changes to the Constitution)
Webmaster
Industry Relations Chair
C.R.U.I.S.E. Chair
Communications Chair

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

See you Wednesday,

Gabe Bautista

Week of April 7th

Hey BMES,

Thanks to everyone that came to tie dye shirts with us last Friday, we had a great time! If you missed out don’t worry, there’s plenty of tie dyed shirts left. Stop by our office during office hours or come to one of our meetings to get yours. With fall semester sign ups coming up soon we’ll be hosting a Class Advising Workshop this Monday where you can get all of your course questions answered. Also, don’t forget to join us this Friday for Relay For Life. The plan this year is to stay up until 6 AM, but I’m sure that won’t be an issue for those of you used to pulling all-nighters.

Have a great week,

Gabe Bautista
BMES President

P.S. Enjoy these photos from last week in case you missed out.

Upcoming Events

There are no upcoming events on the calendar.

Conference Room Tables for BMES Meetings?

Undergraduate Bio-Medical Engineering Societies have conferences to practice giving presentations and lectures about their research. That brings into question, what are the best chairs, tables and accessories for your meeting space? Conference tables, executive or guest type chairs? Luckily, online retailers such as conferenceroomoutfitters.com have a wealth of information on the subject.

Encoder Products for Motion Feedback control

University engineering students are studying motion feedback control systems in an absolute encoder or shaft encoders used in such industries as oil and gas, and aerospace. These unique devices are engineered with top quality materials and provide students with a great learning opportunity. Just one more reason why the University of Madison is a great choice for students eager to learn!
