Abstract1207466, KhooThe mission of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) 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 this mission, the EMBS has been organizing annual conferences for over 30 years. Each year, this flagship annual conference - the largest meeting of biomedical engineers in the world - is attended by between 2,000 and 3,000 people from all over the world. Generally, about a third of these attendees are students. Student activities include a widely-publicized and high-quality Student Paper Competition (SPC), panel discussions and lunch meetings with pioneers and leaders in biomedical engineering, special symposia, and mentoring sessions.In 2012, the EMBC will be held at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel in San Diego from August 28 through September 1. Based on the level of participation in EMBC 2011 which was held in Boston, it is expected that close to 3,000 scientists, engineers, clinicians and students will attend EMBC-12, with attendees coming from all over the world - particularly from countries in the Pacific Rim and Latin America, given the attractive conference location in San Diego. About 200 papers are expected to be submitted to the SPC. From these, 15 finalists will be selected through the use of an on-line review and judging system. These papers will be part of a special session of oral presentations during the conference. Funding is requested to help U.S.-based SPC finalists defray the costs of travel and registration to present their research papers at EMBC-12. As well, part of the funding will be used to encourage person-to-person interaction between student participants and established leaders in the biomedical engineering community.Intellectual MeritThe EMBC SPC has proven to be a useful mechanism for incentivizing students to present their best work in the setting of an international conference. It provides a channel through which these young investigators are introduced to the leading figures in biomedical engineering, since the finalists make their oral presentations in front of the conference audience, as part of the scientific program. The competition is conducted in a friendly and supportive environment that allows top-notch students to network with fellow finalists and other students from a wide array of bioengineering disciplines. In addition, the SPC and the conference in general play a crucial role in recognizing the talents of women and minorities in the field of bioengineering.Broader ImpactThe SPC not only encourages high-quality research in biomedical engineering, but also fosters the career development of the next generation of top-notch bioengineers by providing a unique opportunity for students to meet with the world?s leading biomedical professionals and scientists. The finalists who present their research at the conference also network with and become role models for other student participants thus, the SPC does provide a "ripple effect" of intellectual stimulation and inspiration for the rest of the student community. The conference will also provide the finalists with opportunities to participate in special sessions devoted to career planning and social events in which they can become acquainted with established leaders in biomedical engineering. Indeed, several past SPC awardees have already become present leaders in the EMBS community.

Abstract1207466，Khoo IEEE 医学和生物学工程协会 (EMBS) 的使命是通过传播知识、制定标准、促进专业发展和认可卓越，推动工程科学和技术在医学和生物学中的应用，促进该行业的发展，并为其成员和人类的利益提供全球领导力。为了支持这一使命，30 多年来，EMBS 一直在组织年度会议。每年，这个旗舰年度会议 - 世界上最大的生物医学工程师会议 - 都会有来自世界各地的 2,000 至 3,000 人参加。一般来说，这些与会者中约有三分之一是学生。学生活动包括广为人知的高质量学生论文竞赛（SPC）、与生物医学工程先驱和领导者的小组讨论和午餐会、专题研讨会和指导会议。2012年，EMBC将于8月28日至9月1日在圣地亚哥希尔顿海湾酒店举行。根据在波士顿举行的EMBC 2011的参与程度，预计将有近3,000人参加。 科学家、工程师、临床医生和学生将参加 EMBC-12，与会者来自世界各地，特别是来自环太平洋地区和拉丁美洲国家，因为圣地亚哥的会议地点极具吸引力。预计将向最高人民法院提交约200篇论文。通过在线评审系统，将选出 15 名决赛入围者。这些论文将成为会议期间特别会议口头报告的一部分。请求资金帮助美国 SPC 决赛入围者支付在 EMBC-12 上展示研究论文的差旅费和注册费。此外，部分资金将用于鼓励学生参与者与生物医学工程界知名领导者之间的人际互动。 智力优势 EMBC SPC 已被证明是一种有效的机制，可以激励学生在国际会议上展示他们的最佳作品。它提供了一个将这些年轻研究人员介绍给生物医学工程领军人物的渠道，因为决赛入围者在会议观众面前进行口头报告，作为科学计划的一部分。比赛在友好和支持性的环境中进行，让顶尖的学生能够与决赛入围者和来自各个生物工程学科的其他学生建立联系。此外，SPC 和整个会议在认可生物工程领域的女性和少数族裔人才方面发挥着至关重要的作用。 更广泛的影响 SPC 不仅鼓励生物医学工程领域的高质量研究，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见面的独特机会，促进下一代顶尖生物工程师的职业发展。在会议上展示研究成果的决赛入围者也与其他学生参与者建立了联系并成为榜样，因此，SPC 确实为其他学生社区提供了智力刺激和灵感的“连锁反应”。会议还将为决赛入围者提供参加专门针对职业规划和社交活动的特别会议的机会，在这些活动中他们可以结识生物医学工程领域的知名领导者。事实上，几位过去的 SPC 获奖者已经成为 EMBS 社区的现任领导者。
