Institute of Biological Engineering
The Institute of Biological Engineers (IBE) at Cornell University is a student chapter of the professional society open to any students who are interested in biological, environmental, or biomedical engineering. The focus of IBE is to encourage students interested in these disciplines to grow both professionally and socially by attending events and networking with peers, professors, and industry professionals. These professional events include company information sessions, graduate school panels, lectures given by faculty, and many others. Students are encouraged to network with their peers through a peer mentorship program and social events including happy hours. The largest event hosted by IBE is the annual BioExpo each spring. This event is a research symposium where student researchers in all aspects of biological engineering display posters, and presentations are made by faculty and industry professionals, along with a company showcase.

ASABE’s Honor Society: Alpha Epsilon, Iota Beta Chapter
Alpha Epsilon is an honor society for outstanding agricultural, biological and food engineers. The objectives of the honor society are to promote the high ideals of the engineering profession, to give recognition to those agricultural, biological and food engineers who manifest worthy qualities of character, scholarship and professional attainment, and to encourage and support such improvements in the agricultural, biological and food engineering profession that make it an instrument of greater service to mankind.
Memberships in Alpha Epsilon consist of three classes: honorary, active and alumni. Honorary members are selected on the basis of successful achievement in biological and agricultural engineering. Active members are chosen only from students registered in the upper portion of their engineering class, and who exhibit outstanding qualities of character, leadership, and personality. Graduate members may be chosen from outstanding graduate students in agricultural, biological and food engineering.
American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering
The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) is the authoritative voice and advocate for the value of medical and biological engineering to society. It is an organization of leaders in medical and biological engineering, consisting of academic, industrial, professional society councils and elected fellows.
AIMBE’s mission includes communicating objectively with and responding to US and state government agencies, as well as lawmakers. We hope to contribute to public policy making that benefit the public.
Working towards greater translational research and innovation, promoting inter-society relationships, as well as inspiring the young future leaders of the MBE community are all part of what we do.
We believe that recognizing and honoring those who have made significant contributions to humanity through MBE can help educate the public on how MBE affects all of us.
