Student Participation at the IEEE - Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Conference, Chicago Illinois, October 30-November 2, 1997

该奖项为参加1997年IEEE/EMBS（医学和生物工程学会）会议（芝加哥，伊利诺伊州，1997年10月30日至11月2日）的学生提供创新方法，以改善他们的教育体验，并鼓励学生在毕业后更充分地参与专业协会。这些创新将应用于会前研讨会和三个特别学生小型专题讨论会。希望这一技术将成为其他专业协会寻求增加学生参与其程序的典范。在过去的会议中，学生出席会前讲习班的人数很少，主要是由于额外的注册费。该奖项的资金将用于支持50名学生80%的注册费，他们将支付20%的注册费。评判申请的标准是：学生对工程和医学的承诺的证据，学生参与与所要求的研讨会相关的研究项目的程度，学生将在公司担任职位并将在与所要求的研讨会相关的领域工作的证据，以及学生的学术课程学习将通过参加所要求的研讨会来补充的证据。在过去的EMBS会议上，小型专题讨论会在很大程度上是关于实践生物医学工程师普遍感兴趣的主题的教程。该奖项为三个小型研讨会提供支持，专门针对那些即将从正规教育经历转向工作场所的学生的需求。创新的有效性将由PI通过编制学生参与的统计摘要和分析由学生参与者完成的评估问卷来记录。* * *

9616864 Jaeger This award provides support for innovative approaches to improving the educational experience of students attending the 1997 IEEE/EMBS (Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society) conference (Chicago, Illinois, October 30-November 2, 1997), and to encourage students to participate more fully in professional societies after graduation. The innovations will be applied to the Pre-Conference Workshops and three Special Student Mini-Symposia. It is hoped that this technique will serve as a model for other professional societies seeking to increase student involvement in their proceedings. In past conferences there has been poor attendance by students at the Pre-Conference Workshops, primarily due to the additional registration costs. Funds from this award would be used to support 80% of the registration fees for 50 students, who would pay 20% of the fee. The criteria by which the applications are to be judged are: evidence of the student's commitment to engineering and medicine, the extent that the student is involved in a research project related to the workshop requested, evidence that the student will take a position in a company and will work in an area related to the workshop requested, and evidence that the student's academic program of study would be complemented by attending the workshop requested. Mini-Symposia in past EMBS meetings have largely been tutorials on topics of general interest to practicing biomedical engineers. This award provides support for three Mini-Symposia specifically directed to the needs of students who are about to move to the workplace from a formal educational experience. The effectiveness of the innovations is to be documented by the PI from the preparation of a statistical summary of student participation and an analysis of the evaluation questionnaires to be completed by the student participants. ***
