PI: Maletsky, LorinProposal Number: 1219600 The Bioengineering Division (BED) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers hosts the annual Summer Bioengineering Conference (SBC). The 2012 SBC, to be held June 20-23, 2012 at the el Conquistador Resort in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, will be the 14th installment of this conference. The budget request to NSF is to provide support for the 2012 Undergraduate Design Project Competition in Rehabilitation and Assistive Devices and a workshop to help researchers translate their rehabilitation ideas to market. The primary objectives of the competition are to expose more students to rehabilitation needs and support projects in this area as well as to help develop future researchers and engineers in this. Funding will also support a workshop to be presented at the meeting which will explain how to convert concepts in rehabilitation developed from student projects into viable market products. All technical presentations will be two-page extended abstracts and compiled in a CD format, distributed to all registrants. The primary purpose of this conference is to promote state-of-the-art research, collaboration, and scientific discourse in the broad field of bioengineering with a focus on cutting edge biomechanics encompassing molecular to tissue and organism-level approaches. This conference highlights and encourages student participation to advance the education and career aspirations of these future leaders of bioengineering. Intellectual Merit: The design projects are rigorously reviewed using a series of criteria and projects need to be sufficiently developed to be considered in one of the top six finalists. For the finalist presentations at the conference, each team will present their design to the audience and must be able to answer questions. The finalist team members who attend the conference will also be able to participate in an extremely high quality scientific and intellectually stimulating interdisciplinary meeting. It is the premiere meeting for bioengineering with a focus on biomechanical engineering. One of the workshops, Bringing Assistive Devices to Market, will highlight the translation of rehabilitation projects to marketable products. Five other workshops with significant scientific and educational topics in bioengineering will also be presented: 4D Phase Contrast MRI for Hemodynamics, Solid Mechanics over Hierarchical Scales by Noninvasive Imaging, Tips for Tenure in Bioengineering, Teaching Cell & Tissue Engineering, and Biotransport Education. We will also have two additional Challenges: the Grand Challenge in Predicting Knee Loads and Computational Fluid Dynamics Challenge. Challenge sessions highlight student achievements in engineering design and modeling and rapidly advance the field through simultaneously encouraging competition and collaboration. The winners of the Lissner and Mow Medals and the Fung Young Investigator Award will make scientific presentations. Broader Impact: The rehabilitation design competition will bring students from across the country to a meeting who might otherwise not have an opportunity to attend an international research conference. In addition to the direct impact this conference will have on the mainstream bioengineering community, it serves an important cross-fertilization role. We will have in attendance bioengineers, engineers from other disciplines, cell and molecular biologists, biochemists, biophysicists, and other scientists participating in the meeting. In that manner, this conference will have a much broader impact than if it were to be attended by just the biomechanics community. Most importantly, we expect that more than 50% of the attendees will be students and postdoctoral fellows. This will provide a broad impact for the current times as well as for the future, as these students will benefit by participation in the meeting and through the material presented by the plenary speakers, workshops, and challenges. Through the CD containing technical proceedings and conference web site, information presented at the meeting will be available to multiple societies and to the public at large.

主要研究者：Maletsky，Lorin提案编号：1219600美国机械工程师协会生物工程部（BED）主办了一年一度的夏季生物工程会议（SBC）。2012年SBC将于2012年6月20日至23日在波多黎各法哈尔多的征服者度假村举行，将是本次会议的第14期。向NSF提出的预算请求是为2012年康复和辅助设备本科生设计项目竞赛和一个研讨会提供支持，以帮助研究人员将他们的康复想法转化为市场。比赛的主要目标是让更多的学生了解康复需求，支持这一领域的项目，并帮助培养未来的研究人员和工程师。资金还将用于支持将在会议上介绍的研讨会，该研讨会将解释如何将学生项目开发的康复概念转化为可行的市场产品。所有技术演示文稿将是两页的扩展摘要，并以CD格式编辑，分发给所有注册人。本次会议的主要目的是促进生物工程广泛领域的最先进的研究，合作和科学话语，重点是尖端生物力学，包括分子到组织和生物体水平的方法。本次会议强调并鼓励学生参与，以促进这些生物工程未来领导者的教育和职业抱负。智力优势：设计项目将使用一系列标准进行严格审查，项目需要得到充分的发展，以便在前六名决赛中被考虑。对于会议的决赛演讲，每个团队将向观众展示他们的设计，并且必须能够回答问题。参加会议的决赛团队成员也将能够参加一个非常高质量的科学和智力刺激的跨学科会议。这是生物工程的首次会议，重点是生物力学工程。其中一个讲习班“将辅助器具推向市场”将着重于将康复项目转化为可销售的产品。其他五个研讨会与重大的科学和教育主题的生物工程也将提出：4D相位对比MRI的血流动力学，固体力学的层次尺度的非侵入性成像，提示终身在生物工程，教学细胞组织工程，和生物运输教育。我们还将有两个额外的挑战：预测膝关节负荷的大挑战和计算流体动力学挑战。挑战赛突出学生在工程设计和建模方面的成就，并通过同时鼓励竞争和合作来快速推进该领域。利斯纳奖、Mow奖和冯扬研究奖的获奖者将作科学报告。更广泛的影响：康复设计竞赛将使来自全国各地的学生参加一个会议，否则他们可能没有机会参加国际研究会议。除了对主流生物工程界的直接影响外，这次会议还发挥了重要的交叉作用。我们将有生物工程师，来自其他学科的工程师，细胞和分子生物学家，生物化学家，生物药理学家和其他科学家参加会议。以这种方式，这次会议将有一个更广泛的影响，如果它只是由生物力学界参加。最重要的是，我们预计超过50%的与会者将是学生和博士后研究员。这将为当前和未来提供广泛的影响，因为这些学生将通过参加会议并通过全体演讲者，研讨会和挑战提出的材料受益。通过载有技术会议记录的光盘和会议网站，会议上介绍的信息将提供给多个社会和广大公众。
