Before the end of each semester, bioengineering students dress up in their finest attire and get together to eat and drink. It's a way of celebrating the end of the semester and realizing that we are almost done. Afterwards, students have the option of joining other departments at an EUS wide afterparty.
A multi-day trip to another city to explore a biotech center outside of Montreal. Includes industry tours, lab tours, visits with bioengineering students from other schools, and lots of bonding with the department!
E-week is an EUS wide event that takes place the first week of the winter semester. It is sort of like a winter frosh for engineers. All engineering departments are at war with each other and participate in fun events and challenges. In the end, only one department wins. Will this be BUSS' year?
The biomedical engineering discipline is a relatively new field that is full of exciting opportunities and boasts a large variety of career options in academia and industry. Students in biomedical engineering have a plethora of potential career paths to follow post-graduation, yet, many students feel that they lack knowledge about what these opportunities may be and how one could become involved.
The Canadian Undergraduate Biomedical Engineering Conference (CUBEC) is the first large scale event dedicated to connecting undergraduate biomedical engineering students across Canada. CUBEC began as a collaboration between BUSS at McGill and BMEUS at UBC in 2020, providing a platform for various academic research groups, industry leaders, and start-up companies to highlight their activities. CUBEC's goal is to provide attendees with the necessary tools needed to make decisions about potential career paths through national conferences, networking events, industry nights, and career workshops.
