Catalyst is a one-day program designed to allow participants the time and space to consider powerful questions that move them towards action. Compelling questions like:
Am I on the right path?
Who do I want to be?
How can I connect with other like-minded individuals?
The day isn't intended to provide participants with easy answers to these questions but rather create a community in which participants can engage in meaningful conversations with each other. Catalyst is designed primarily for individuals who are committed to the exploration of possibility, personal integrity, and increasing their capacity to lead. They might currently be members of standing organizations or groups, or be exploring involvement and action in the greater community.
Last year participant, Andrew Fraser (BME student) said this about the program: “Catalyst provides a great forum for honing leadership skills and meeting other student leaders. At Catalyst, I identified my style of leadership and evaluated how I could use those skills most effectively. I highly recommend the program! You'll learn a lot and have a good time doing it!”
Engineering and Technology Student Council is sponsoring 10 students to attend. If you are interested in attending, please contact Terri Talbert-Hatch (ttalbert@iupui.edu) by December 15.

What is Biomedical Engineering?
Biomedical Engineering (BME) is a discipline that advances knowledge in engineering, biology, and medicine to improve human health through cross-disciplinary activities integrating the engineering sciences with biomedical sciences and clinical practice. Students work in the development of new devices, algorithms, processes, and systems that advance biology and medicine and improve medical practice and health care delivery. Many students chose BME because it is people-oriented.
Perhaps the most archetypical BME device is the cardiac pacemaker which senses the patient's current heart rhythm and rate and will electrically stimulate the heart to regularize an abnormal rate or rhythm. More...
Is Biomedical Engineering right for me?
When you enter any engineering discipline you must have a strong interest in science and mathematics in a way that allows you to solve problems of a highly technical nature. For BME you must be willing to add the life sciences and medical knowledge necessary to understand the frame work of the problems on which you will work. More...
