UCLA BMES Build Team

Syllabus

BMES Build Team is a year-long project where underclassmen are tasked with building their own rudimentary biomedical device. We are a student-run program that works to develop basic engineering and design skills of students looking to work in the medical device industry.

Traditional lower-division classes typically focus more on theory rather than hands-on skills necessary for research and industry. Through hands-on instruction, students are introduced to fundamental engineering concepts including the design process, circuitry, microcontrollers, coding, soldering, 3D CAD, and PCB design.

We hope that students coming out of this program are able to apply these skills in future classes, research, and internships.
