2024年10月11日 · Women play a vital role in biomedical engineering, breaking barriers and contributing to advancements in the field. In the blog, we discussed key challenges women face, such as gender bias and limited representation.

The mission of CMU Women in BME is to bring knowledge, networking opportunities, and mentorship to women in Biomedical Engineering (BME). Our efforts are aimed at closing the gender gap by increasing the number of women who i) enter the field, ii) pursue higher education, and iii) obtain positions of elevated rank within companies and universities.

2017年6月16日 · Women in the United States were awarded only 20% of all engineering B.S. degrees in 2015; in BME, however, 40.9% of the degree recipients were women. This stands in stark contrast to the more traditional fields of mechanical and electrical engineering, where women were awarded just 13.2% and 12.5% of B.S. degrees, respectively.

Black and minority ethnic (BME) women remain significantly underrepresented in senior leadership roles due to persistent obstacles within career progression. A 2022 study , conducted by McKinsey and Company and LeanIn.org, on 333 companies and over 40,000 employees, compared BME women to other social categories and found they are the least ...

2024年4月15日 · Numerous studies have shed light on the experiences of women in the workplace, but few have specifically focused on the intersectional challenges faced by BME women. However, recent research has begun to address this gap, providing valuable insights into their unique struggles and triumphs.

2024年3月22日 · Women’s invaluable contributions to biomedical engineering have made it clear that their involvement has been nothing short of transformative. Professor Elizabeth Tanner, Dr. Nimmi Ramanujam and Dr. Carcia Carson have had inspiring journeys of not only professional success but also in moving the field towards more diversity and inclusion.

Welcome to Graduate Women in Biomedical Engineering (GWBME)! We are a student group though the Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of Minnesota. Our mission is to promote the active engagement of women and minorities in BME and STEM through professional development, outreach, and internal programming.

Young Women Exposed Actively to the Value of Biomedical Engineering Abstract: To bridge the gap between the biological sciences (typically female-dominated) and engineering (typically male-dominated), biomedical engineering (BME) activities could potentially be used as a vehicle to alter female students’ perception of engineering as a whole.

In this paper, we review the barriers to women’s success in biomedical engineering and suggest strategies for overcoming these obstacles, i.e., for fixing the leaky pipeline. The lack of gender diversity in all engineering disciplines is an important national problem.
