Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society

The mission of Purdue IEEE MTT-S is to explore microwave technology through events that highlight the background and applications of high-frequency technology. The events that Purdue IEEE MTT-S holds cater to the needs of both undergraduate and graduate students. The members of this committee host outreach activities to educate others about the opportunities and benefits of microwaves in communication and radar. The large range of experience levels present give a variety of perspectives in this field and allow for mentorship relations to form for the professional development of all members. Between seminars, roundtable discussions, and demonstrations, the members of MTT-S eagerly support the community that came out of Purdue University's groundbreaking research in radio frequency and microwave engineering. The chapter is recruiting to add freshmen on through Ph.D. candidates into the ranks in an effort to expand relevance.

Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) is an internationally recognized technical society under IEEE, servicing the largest community of biomedical engineers in the world. Founded in September 2015, Purdue IEEE EMBS consists of a group of dedicated students who share a common passion for transforming and revolutionizing the future of medicine and healthcare. The mission of Purdue IEEE EMBS is to focus on the development and application of engineering concepts and methods to provide new solutions to medical and healthcare problems. Its members apply concepts and methods of physical engineering and life sciences to issues in the rapidly expanding fields of medicine and biology.

This society exposes its members to the people, practices, information, and ideas necessary for success in biomedical, robotics, data science, and related careers. It regularly conducts social events, seminars, and tours through the assistance of faculty and industry supporters; befitting a technical society, Purdue IEEE EMBS members diligently contribute to research initiatives, build innovative projects, and organize technical workshops for the cultivation of shared knowledge. Purdue IEEE EMBS's long-term project objective is to build a full-body exoskeleton for those with muscular dystrophy. EMBS will also be starting a project for an interactive mechatronic flower that will symbolically represent the user's current mental health status.
