2007 ASME Summer Bioengineering Conference

描述（由申请人提供）： 美国机械工程师学会生物工程部主办年度夏季生物工程会议，其总体目标是为生物工程研究人员和教育工作者提供一个论坛，以展示和讨论生物工程领域的当前趋势。会议的统一主题是生物力学，包括分子到组织和生物体水平的方法。2007年夏季生物工程会议将于6月20日至24日在科罗拉多的Keystone举行，这将是该会议的第9次会议，并将邀请两位演讲者，众多的研讨会，讲台会议，海报会议，赞助商/参展商区，职业博览会，以及特别强调的学生论文比赛在BS，MS和博士水平。学生在这次会议上的参与历来是优秀的。2006年会议的与会者中有一半以上是学生。我们的具体目标是通过单独的论文征集以及为350名学生减少100美元的注册费来维持或增加学生的参与度。本次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，休闲服装和一些计划外的时间来促进新的和有经验的参与者之间的非正式互动和交流。通过明智地选择主讲人和研讨会，我们将为学生提供机会，体验适用于跨学科的新兴生物医学技术。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Bioengineering Division hosts the annual Summer Bioengineering Conference with the general aim of providing a forum for bioengineering researchers and educators to present and discuss current trends in bioengineering over a wide range of subtopics. The uniting theme of the conference is biomechanics, encompassing molecular to tissue and organism-level approaches. The 2007 Summer Bioengineering Conference, to be held June 20-24 in Keystone, Colorado, will be the 9th installment of this conference, and will feature two invited speakers, numerous workshops, podium sessions, poster sessions, a sponsor/exhibitor area, career fair, and specially highlighted student paper competitions at the BS, MS, and PhD levels. Student participation at this meeting has historically been excellent. Over half the attendee population at the 2006 conference was students. Our Specific Aim is to maintain or increase student participation through a separate Call for Papers, and by reducing registration fees by $100 for 350 students. A distinguishing feature of this conference is its relaxed atmosphere, promoted through our venue selection, casual dress, and some unscheduled time to permit informal interactions and exchange of ideas among new and experienced participants. By judicious selection of keynote speakers and workshops, we will offer students opportunities to experience emerging biomedical technologies that apply across disciplines.
