Purdue MIND’s purpose is to promote and grow the biomedical engineering community at Purdue by providing undergraduate students the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities, discuss current research, and network with a wide range of faculty both within and outside of Purdue including professors, physicians, and engineers. We are a unique, multidisciplinary student organization that seeks to innovate and develop medical technology. Our overall goals are listed below:
- To give Purdue undergraduates extensive experience with medical technology market research, design, prototyping, validation, regulatory approval, intellectual property management, and transition to market.
- To allow highly motivated students to network with each other and with professors and medical professionals and to collaborate on a significant, long-term, medically-focused project.
- To recognize the work done on the project through submission to national design competitions.
