  • Students represent the next generation of leaders in biomedical engineering and the future of IEEE EMBS. Student chapters are a microcosm of IEEE EMBS, complete with their own voting representative on EMB’s Administrative Committee (AdCom), programming and needs for community, inspiration, and organization.

    Student Club and Chapter Benefits

    Forming an IEEE EMBS student club or chapter provides students with an essential link between student life and professional development. Guided by the Vice-President, Member & Student Activities, are part of a community of on-campus leaders that drive programming and events.

    Student members have access to leadership training and skills through their local club and chapter activities, connect directly with leaders in the field of biomedical engineering—both locally and internationally—and gain firsthand experience and exposure by volunteering at the annual International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference.
