Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering
The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME), a joint program of Georgia Tech and Emory University, partnered with Electric Citizen to redesign its website from the ground up. The previous site struggled with navigation, outdated design, and inconsistent content that didn’t reflect BME’s reputation or joint university brand.
