Description

The Associated Students of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Southern California have recognized the need to provide students interested in the biomedical field with real-life, application-based challenges. For this reason, ASBME began hosting the Makeathon for the first time in February 2016. Competitors are presented with a research-based challenge and have a limited amount of time and resources to solve the given problem. By working in teams, students engage in an interdisciplinary sharing of knowledge in order to solve a time-sensitive case. During the competition, corporate representatives and graduate students act as mentors, providing feedback to students, and offering advice. Students from other universities are invited to compete to provide exposure to Viterbi’s innovative and collaborative environment and to foster bonds with students and organizations from other schools. ​
