Changes

This article addresses the base steps for getting a bioengineering club up-and-running on your campus. The article takes the group ''Engineers for Sustainable Medical Development (ESMD)'' as an exampl,e and will attempt to outline the steps taken by the group in their journey to get started. A few special notes are included for those not on a campus as well-connected as the ESMD.

Initial leadership was provided by the co-founders of the group. When the time came for succession, the successor was chosen by the co-founders. The student chosen gained the position based on his demonstrated capabilities, interest in the organization and by merit. The group operates with a formal leadership structure (President, VP, Tresurer, Public Relations Officer, etc...) with informal responsibilities. Group members have leeway to work on their own interests and are provided with the responsibilities that suit their position and capabilities.

Access to a large network of industry professionals allows the group to self-promote on a word of mouth basis, as well.
