Undergraduate Organizations:
Biomedical
Engineering Society (BMES)
The Biomedical Engineering Society provides students with activities
which strengthen their understanding of and interest in Biomedical
Engineering. The Society provides students with literature, field
trips, films, and guest lecturers, which provide them with a "resource
center" concerning such vital areas as career opportunities
and graduate study in Biomedical Engineering.

Alpha Eta
Mu Beta
Alpha Eta Mu Beta is the honor society for biomedical engineering.
The society promotes an understanding of the profession, and recognizes
and encourages excellence within the field. The purpose of the society
is to bring into closer union and to mark in an outstanding manner
those biomedical engineers who have manifested a deep interest and
marked ability in their chosen life work so as to promote an understanding
of their profession and to develop its members professionally.

Undergraduate research programs:
Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Program (UROP)
The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) assists
Boston University undergraduates who are interested in conducting
research projects under the supervision and guidance of BU faculty
members. Students may participate in the program for academic credit,
for a stipend, or on a volunteer basis. All UROP research projects
must be of a caliber that is worthy of academic credit, and of a
duration of at least one semester (or ten weeks during the summer).
Research Experience for
Undergraduates (REU)
The Biomedical Engineering Department of the College of Engineering
at Boston University is proud to host a National Science Foundation
Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site program. If you
are currently a sophomore or junior in any engineering, mathematics
or natural science discipline, we encourage you to consider joining
us this summer for an exciting ten-week research opportunity in
the heart of Boston. Students will receive a stipend of $3,920,
as well as free on-campus housing.
Boston University and the National Science Foundation strongly
encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply to this
program.

Summer
Term Alumni Research Scholars (STARS)
The goal of the STARS program is to promote faculty-mentored, full-time
research experiences for College of Engineering undergraduates during
the summer.
STARS will receive a stiped, and up to 12 weeks of housing in a
BU residence hall, coincident with the summer term calendar. To
be eligible for the STARS program, students must receive a weekly
stipend of at least $300 from an engineering faculty mentor to participate
in full-time research activities during the summer. Note that full-time
research means that students may NOT enroll in summer courses. The
length of housing support will coincide with the period the student
is actively engaged in full-time research and receiveing a stipend.
Industrial Research Fellowship Program
The Industrial Research Fellowship Program is a program
to help students obtain summer research positions in biomedical
engineering with potential to extend to Senior Design Projects during
the subsequent academic year. This program is made possible by the
Donations from the Industrial Supporters of Boston University's
Biomedical Engineering Senior Project Program.
Students will work on research project of their choosing in one
of the many on campus laboratories or local industry. The student
will be able to choose from a listing of projects and laboratories
that are available.
If a student is honored by receiving one of these prestigious Fellowships
they will receive a $3000 stipend for the Summer and an allowance
of up to another $3000 to cover housing costs during the summer
or access to on-campus housing at no cost.
Each student will be responsible for presenting a poster at the
Undergraduate Research and Industrial Internship Symposium.
