BMEidea: A design competition for biomedical engineering students



The world needs more effective, functional and affordable technology solutions to clinical medical problems.
You can fast-track these solutions by entering BMEidea, the United States' leading competition for biomedical and bioengineering students. Cash prizes are available: the first place team wins $10,000; second place $2,500; and third place $1,000.
