The Academic Council
The Academic Council consists of representative of many of the universities in the United States which offer undergraduate or graduate courses in biomedical engineering. The main focus of the council is to develop new ways of applying information from the biomedical engineering field to improve the quality of life in the world. The members in the councils also aim to prepare students for careers in the biomedical fields, and improve the research that their specific academic institutions work on. The members of the Academic Council meet biannually, and use the time to get to know other educators in their field from around the country, and exchange ideas.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or council:
“I was so grateful to be independent of the academic establishment. I thought, how awful it would be to have my future hinge on such people and such decisions.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
