Student Paper Competition at the 2008 30th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Societ

该项目将支持将于2008年8月20日至24日在加拿大温哥华会议中心举行的第30届IEEE医学与生物工程学会（EMBS）国际年会。IEEE EMBS的使命是推进工程科学和技术在医学和生物学领域的应用，促进该行业的发展，并通过传播知识、制定标准、促进专业发展和表彰卓越成就，为其成员和全人类的利益提供全球领导力。在过去的30年里，IEEE的EMBS一直在组织医学和生物工程学会的年度会议。IEEE EMBS 2008会议的总主题是“通过技术实现个性化医疗保健”，涵盖了广泛的生物医学和临床工程、物理、医学和临床应用。会议的具体主题将包括生物医学信号处理、神经工程；神经肌肉系统;康复工程和医疗保健信息系统；远程医疗。从研究到工业的转移也将是会议的焦点。预计将有2200多名来自世界各地的科学家、工程师和学生参加这次会议。预计将有大约100-150篇论文提交给学生论文比赛。该竞赛不仅促进生物工程学科的教育，而且通过为学生提供与世界领先的生物医学专业人士和科学家会面并建立联系的独特机会，培养下一代生物工程师。该竞赛在表彰女性和少数族裔在生物工程领域的才能方面发挥着至关重要的作用。该奖项由生物医学工程项目和国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。

CBET 0827850WolfThis project will support the 30th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) to be held August 20-24, 2008 at the Convention Center in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The mission of the EMBS of the IEEE is to advance the application of engineering sciences and technology to medicine and biology, promote the profession, and provide global leadership for the benefit of its members and humanity by disseminating knowledge, setting standards, fostering professional development, and recognizing excellence. To support its mission, EMBS of the IEEE has been organizing annual conferences of the engineering in medicine and biology society for past 30 years. The general theme of the IEEE EMBS 2008 Conference is "Personalized Healthcare through Technology" covering the broad spectrum of biomedical and clinical engineering and physics, to medical and clinical applications. Specific themes of the Conference will include Biomedical Signal Processing, Neural Engineering; Neuromuscular Systems; Rehabilitation Engineering, and Healthcare Information Systems; Telemedicine. Aspects of transfer from research to industry will also be a focus of the conference. It is expected that more than 2200 scientists, engineers and students will be attending this conference from all over the world. About 100-150 papers are expected to be submitted to the Student Paper Competition. This Competition promotes not only education within bioengineering disciplines but fosters the next generation of bioengineers by providing a unique opportunity to students to meet and network with the leading biomedical professionals and scientists in the world. The Competition plays a crucial role in recognizing the talents of women and minorities in the field of bioengineering.This award is co-funded by the Biomedical Engineering Program and Office of International Science and Engineering.
