Sunday isn’t the only fun day! Join the faculty for an ice cream social to cool off right before partying it up for Sun God. For questions and to RSVP, please contact Muthu (mannaama[at]ucsd[dot]edu).
The title says it all. The cost is $30/person. If you are interested, please contact Stevie (msharson[at]ucsd[dot]edu) for more details and to RSVP.
Join in on one of TESC’s new events, Engineers on the Green. Tired after the Derby? No worries; come out for a relaxing evening of
carnival games and hanging out with Jacobs School alumni. Still gunning to help out? Volunteer at the BMES carnival game (Jenga and
Towers of Hanoi) by contacting Katherine (kcl003[at]ucsd[dot]edu).
Building begins in NEXT WEEK! We need people interested in building the fastest and most creative cart in this build project. Late night
welding sessions, daring test rides, and cutting edge design will be happening, with over 48 hours of opportunity for you to get involved.
For those quick with their math, you’re right, that does mean the potential for 48 points! We can have up to 5 builders in the ‘build
area’ at any one time, so please respond if you’re interested! Contact Stevie (msharson[at]ucsd[dot]edu) with any questions or if you are interested in building.
Got some spare time before the Derby? Come out this Saturday (5/2) to help collect junk. The more people there, the better (and better) junk
we can get. Additionally, we’ll also get a head start into the junkyard if we have people help collect junk. It’s a win-win situation! For more details, contact Rashi (rkhare[at]ucsd[dot]edu).
Want to get more involved in BMES? Well today’s your lucky day! The BENG, BTEC, and PMED liaison positions are all still open! The liaisons are largely responsible for running social and the mentor- mentee programming as well as giving advice on his or her respective track.
Elections for these positions will be held in conjunction with the GBM on Tuesday, May 5 at 6:30pm. Please send in a short paragraph detailing why you would like to run for the position and why you are qualified as well as a headshot to Stephanie (s1fan[at]ucsd[dot]edu) by Friday, May 1.
Show your bioengineering pride with these nifty t-shirts!
Don’t delay! Get them while supplies last!

Students from 40 schools already are at work prepping one of the day’s activities. They’re creating a giant game of “Operation†under the supervision of the UCSD Biomedical Engineering Society.
That’s us!!! By the way, Bioengineering Day is also a part of the San Diego Science Festival…see for yourself.

The Bioengineering Day Committee would like to invite you to participate in this year’s Bioengineering Quiz Bowl (BQB). The BQB is a fun, fast-paced, bioengineering competition and is the culminating event of the 3rd Annual Bioengineering Day (Friday, April 3rd).
Each team, comprised of 4 bioengineering students, must take a preliminary written exam. The 4 teams that score highest in the preliminary exam will move on to the elimination-style tournament held on Bioengineering Day. The winning student team will then face a “team of doom” composed of a UCSD bioengineering faculty member, an industry representative, a grad student and a post-doctorate fellow.
Qualification exams last ~30 minutes and are scheduled for Thursday February 26th from 3:30pm to 6:00pm in PFBH 291. If you think you’re up to the challenge, email beday.bqb@gmail.com with a list of the 4 members of your team and a 30 minute block during which all 4 team members are available. If your entire team cannot make any time on Thursday the 26th, we will host qualification exams on Friday the 27th by special request. FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES ARE WELCOME TO PLAY! Remember that the questions will be from all 4 tracks offered by the bioengineering department, as well as some general bioengineering knowledge, so choose your teammates wisely.
If you cannot put together a team of 4 and need more people, or you decide last minute that you want to participate, please email us and show up for the preliminary exam anyways. We will try to arrange a team for you.
