PI: Bush, Tamara Institution: Michigan State UniversityTitle: Undergraduate Design Competition at the Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering and Biotransport Conference, June 17-20, 2015 in Snowbird, UTThe Undergraduate Design Competition in Rehabilitative and Assistive Devices will be held at the 2015 Summer Biomechanics, Biotransport and Bioengineering Conference (SB3C 2015) in Utah on June 17-20. In this competition, undergraduate student teams (usually at a junior/senior level) from across the nation submit an initial abstract with their prototype idea and design for a device that addresses a need in rehabilitation or assistive devices. A cohort of faculty who have design experience review and score the abstract submissions. Based on these scores, the top six teams (approximately 30 students and their mentors) are invited to attend the conference and present their device, design, and business case at a special podium session. The team presentations are scored by a set of judges, including faculty and industrial representatives. The undergraduate design competition will impact many undergraduate students and their faculty mentors across the country. This competition provides a national venue (with many international attendees) for teams to showcase their innovations in the areas of rehabilitation and assistive devices. Undergraduate students attending the conference will participate in a research-driven event with technical sessions, workshops and presentations by faculty, clinicians and industrial representatives who have expertise in device design, rehabilitation, disabilities, and numerous other areas. Attendance at the conference provides valuable networking opportunities for the students, including contacts for graduate school and employment. The inclusion of the competition at the conference also exposes attendees to innovative solutions for needs of individuals with disabilities, or those undergoing rehabilitation. The inclusion of the undergraduate design competition at SB3C goes beyond the standard senior design projects, offering the opportunity for students to attend an international conference within the US, give a podium presentation, and exchange ideas with internationally recognized researchers. The Undergraduate Design Competition in Rehabilitative and Assistive Devices will be held at the 2015 Summer Biomechanics, Biotransport and Bioengineering Conference (SB3C). The opportunity for students to participate in this competition offers many benefits. SB3C will promote state-of-the-art research, collaboration, and scientific discourse in the broad field of bioengineering with focus on Biomechanics and Biotransport. Undergraduate students attending the conference, through their involvement in the competition, will learn about bio-solid mechanics, bio-fluid mechanics, device design, rehabilitation, cellular and molecular mechanics, functional tissue engineering, bio-heat and mass transfer, and bioengineering education. Numerous podium sessions, poster sessions, workshops and plenary talks are designed to engage and excite the attendees including the session for the undergraduate design competition. Further, the students will have opportunities to showcase their innovative devices in the areas of rehabilitation and assistive devices with conference attendees, and discuss the potential of these devices with other faculty and innovators.

标题：2015年6月17-20日在犹他州雪鸟市举行的夏季生物力学、生物工程和生物运输会议上的本科生设计竞赛康复和辅助设备本科生设计竞赛将于2015年6月17-20日在犹他州举行的2015年夏季生物力学、生物运输和生物工程会议（SB3C 2015）上举行。在本次比赛中，来自全国各地的本科生团队（通常是初级/高级水平）提交了一份初步摘要，其中包含他们的原型想法和设计，用于解决康复或辅助设备的需求。一群有设计经验的教师对抽象提交进行审查和评分。根据这些分数，排名前六的团队（大约30名学生和他们的导师）将被邀请参加会议，并在一个特别的讲台上展示他们的设备、设计和商业案例。团队的演讲由一组评委评分，包括教师和行业代表。大学生设计竞赛将影响全国许多本科生和他们的导师。这项比赛为参赛队伍提供了一个全国性的场地（有许多国际参赛者），以展示他们在康复和辅助设备领域的创新。参加会议的本科生将参加一个以研究为导向的活动，包括技术会议、研讨会和教师、临床医生和行业代表的演讲，他们在设备设计、康复、残疾和许多其他领域具有专业知识。参加会议为学生提供了宝贵的交流机会，包括研究生院和就业方面的联系。在会议上加入比赛也使与会者有机会接触到针对残疾人或正在接受康复治疗的人的需求的创新解决方案。SB3C的本科设计竞赛超越了标准的高级设计项目，为学生提供了参加美国境内国际会议，发表演讲并与国际知名研究人员交流思想的机会。2015年夏季生物力学、生物运输与生物工程会议（SB3C）将举办大学生康复与辅助装置设计竞赛。学生参加这个比赛的机会有很多好处。SB3C将在生物工程的广泛领域促进最先进的研究、合作和科学讨论，重点是生物力学和生物运输。参加会议的本科生将通过参与竞赛，学习生物固体力学、生物流体力学、设备设计、康复、细胞和分子力学、功能组织工程、生物传热传质和生物工程教育。众多的讲台会议、海报会议、研讨会和全体会议旨在吸引和激发与会者，包括本科生设计竞赛的会议。此外，学生将有机会与与会者展示他们在康复和辅助设备领域的创新设备，并与其他教师和创新者讨论这些设备的潜力。
