Break

Breakout Session Growing ECE’s Biomedical Program

Considerations: • Is the low number of EE’s doing biomed a problem? If

so, how do we address this? – Why do you believe more students are interested in

mechanical/biomedical engineering?

• Does your company play a role in the biomedical space? If so, in what capacity?

• As an employer, would you find attractive a student with a biomedical engineering and ECE background, even if you don’t interact in the biomedical field?

Discuss Results of Breakout Session

Facilitators: Jason Gentry and Scott Evans

Break

Expanding the IAB Andrea Leland

Goals for the board • Expand the IAB to include more active,

connected professionals like yourselves

• Structure should reflect the department as well as the local and national industry
