2005 Summer Bioengineering Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：美国机械工程师协会生物工程部将于2005年6月22日至26日在韦尔瀑布度假村赞助2005年夏季生物工程会议。自1993年第一次会议以来，出席人数急剧增长，每次会议的演讲平均增加25%。2005年，它成为一项年度活动。2003年，45%的参与者是学生。我们的目标是通过针对学生的参与来增加这一数字。为了进一步刺激年轻的职业生涯，我们授予一个新的研究者和奖项的BS，MS和博士竞赛的顶级演讲年度奖。 会议的目标是汇集各个学科的科学家在他们的职业生涯的各个阶段，从生物工程师到生物学家到临床医生，从学术界到工业界到私营部门，为国家的最先进的和深入的研究交流。我们会议的一个显著特点是其轻松的气氛，通过我们的场地选择，休闲服装和一些不定期的时间来促进新的和有经验的参与者之间的互动和交流。 会议重点讨论的主要议题包括生物固体力学、生物流体力学、细胞和分子力学、功能组织工程、生物医学设备设计和修复以及生物医学传热传质等领域。我们寻求生物工程界的广泛参与，选择主题和主题演讲者，吸引来自其他社会和行业的参与者。我们的会议得到了一流学会的认可，如生物医学工程学会（BMES），IEEE医学和生物学工程（IEEE/EMBS）和美国国家生物力学委员会（USNCB）。我们希望增加工业界对介绍和展览的参与。 夏季生物工程会议在推进生物工程领域发挥着重要作用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Bioengineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers will sponsor the 2005 Summer Bioengineering Conference June 22-26, 2005 at the Vail Cascade Resort & Spa. Attendance has grown dramatically since the first conference in 1993, with an average 25% increase in presentations at each conference. In 2005, it becomes an annual event. In 2003, 45% of the participants were students. Our aim is to increase this number by targeting student participation. To further stimulate young careers, we bestow an annual award to a new investigator and awards for top presentations in the BS, MS, and PhD competitions. The goal of the conference is to bring together scientists in various disciplines at various stages of their careers, from bioengineers to biologists to clinicians and from academia to industry to the private sector, for state-of-the-art and in-depth research exchange. A distinguishing feature of our conference is its relaxed atmosphere, promoted through our venue selection, casual dress, and some unscheduled time to permit interactions and exchange of ideas among new and experienced participants. The main topics highlighted at the conference include areas such as bio-solid mechanics, bio-fluid mechanics, cellular and molecular mechanics, functional tissue engineering, biomedical device design and rehabilitation, and biomedical heat and mass transfer. We seek broad participation from the bioengineering community in the selection of topics and keynote speakers, which draws participants from other societies and industry. Our conference enjoys endorsements from premier societies such as the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology (IEEE/EMBS), and the United States National Committee on Biomechanics (USNCB). We expect to increase industrial participation in presentations and exhibits. The Summer Bioengineering Conference plays an important role in advancing the bioengineering field.
