The BME Open House is designed to introduce undeclared first-year engineering students to the Biomedical Engineering community, academic pathways, research areas, student organizations, faculty, staff, and student resources. The event will provide an informal and welcoming opportunity for students to explore BME spaces, meet faculty and advisors, learn about student organizations, understand the process for declaring BME, and to learn about BME career pathways. The event will emphasize discovery and connection rather than formal advising or immediate declaration. Students will leave with a clearer understanding of what BME offers, how to continue exploring the major, and what resources are available for declared BME students.

The BME Open House will feature several interactive stations designed to help first-year Engineering students explore the department, connect with the community, and learn about opportunities in Biomedical Engineering. Student organization tables will introduce students to ways to get involved, a tour sign-up area will lead short LBME/lab tours. A Student Services Corner will provide informal guidance on advising, the BME declaration process, as well as BME career pathways. Faculty/student roundtables will offer casual conversations about research, courses, and design, supported by conversation prompts ("Ask Me About"). The event will also include a hands-on STEM activity table and food area.
