The Northeast Biomedical Engineering League (NE-BME League) and BMES have signed an MOU to collaborate on the League’s annual Northeast Biomedical Engineering League meeting (NEBEC), which this year was held last at Temple University.
The agreement is meant to more opportunities for those in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic universities to present their work, connect with peers and industry, through a highly engaged regional network.
The tenets of the agreement include:
Greater visibility for NEBEC as a BMES-supported conference
More opportunities to showcase research and compete in design programs
Stronger connections to industry and career pathways
New webinars and programming focused on professional growth
If you are an undergraduate or graduate student looking to explore exciting career paths in biomedical engineering, don’t miss today’s Industry Connections Webinar hosted by the BMES Student Affairs Subcommittee. The webinar, TODAY, April 21, from 3 pm - 5 pm EST, offers students the opportunity to engage with professionals working across various sectors of the biomedical field.
What to Expect:
Keynote Talks: The first hour will feature an insightful keynote presentations from leading industry experts, providing valuable context and perspectives on the dynamic world of biomedical engineering.
Erin Spinner, Boston Scientific
James Kim, 551 Consulting
Interactive Breakout Sessions: Following the talks, we’ll break into smaller groups where students can interact directly with panelists in 15-20 minute sessions. This is your chance to ask questions, seek advice, and gain insight into both the technical and soft skills that are crucial for success in the field.

Join us on April 28, 2026, at 2 p.m. EST for a webinar designed to guide prospective master’s students in BME through the variety of financial support options (from scholarships and grants to assistantships, employer or industry support, and unique funding streams such as the SMART Scholarship-for-Service Program). It will equip attendees with a decision framework to evaluate costs, benefits, obligations, and financial feasibility, helping them choose the best master’s program for them.
Speakers Include:
Aaron Burdette, PhD - Moderator, Assistant Professor of Practice, University of Cincinnati
Lesia Guinn, PhD, Program Manager Research Associate, Department of Bioengineering, Improving Access to Career and Educational Development (I-ACED) Program, Rice University
Marcus Huggans, PhD, Executive Director of Client Relations, GEM
Join leading researchers, innovators, and rising scientists at one of the premier gatherings in cellular and molecular bioengineering.

Advanced engineering tools such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are rarely introduced in K12 education despite their relevance in modeling engineering systems. This study evaluates whether K12 students can meaningfully engage with these traditional graduate-level methods when applied to cardiovascular flows and delivered through structured modules.
