The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) awarded Pitt’s undergraduate chapter the 2020 Outstanding Chapter Industry Program Award, which recognizes “chapters who demonstrate outstanding partnership with industries in their community.” It also acknowledges groups that “go above and beyond by creating joint programs with academic and industry leaders in the BME field in order to give their members a head start upon graduation.”

Bioengineering undergraduates in the University of Pittsburgh's Swanson School of Engineering cultivate connections with like-minded peers and professionals who can help advance students' careers through the chapter of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES).

“Through professional networking events, social outings and outreach opportunities, we have helped solidify a true undergraduate biomedical engineering community that makes students’ time at Pitt both more valuable and enjoyable,” said Tyler Bray (ENGR ’20), who led the chapter as president during the 2019-2020 academic year.
