About Bioengineering Day 2009
Bioengineering Day is an annual event organized and run by undergraduate members of the UCSD Chapter of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES). It is an opportunity to welcome industry colleagues, UCSD alumni, and visitors to explore the Bioengineering community at UCSD and in the San Diego area.
This year’s event promises to be more fulfilling, and will be held in conjunction with the San Diego Science Festival on Friday, April 3, 2009 on the UCSD campus. The idea behind this year’s Bioengineering Day is to focus upon bioengineering in the global community. We hope to establish diversity in engineering by involving individuals of various related expertise and by interacting with those who have overstepped the traditional boundaries of bioengineering.

A Brief History of the Event
The 1st Annual Bioengineering Quiz Bowl, founded by UCSD Bioengineering undergraduate Anish Jina, took place on April 7th, 2006. This event began a tradition in the UCSD Department of Bioengineering to recognize and celebrate the achievements of the bioengineering community.
Since then this tradition has expanded into Bioengineering Day, a full-day of events consisting of a bioengineering poster exposition, alumni and industry panels, keynote speeches by distinguished alumni, and, of course, the Bioengineering Quiz Bowl. In 2007 UCSD BMES hosted the first annual Bioengineering Day.
