DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The Third Biomedical Engineering Summit Meeting will be held in June 2008 and will be the first conference focusing on biomedical engineering education since 2005. The Whitaker Foundation, which completely supported the first two summits, is no longer available as a sponsor, and the Council of Chairs of Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering (CoC) and the Biomedical Engineering Division of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE BED) are cosponsoring this third summit. The conference is designed as a working meeting to foster progress in biomedical engineering education at the undergraduate level in a way that is not possible at any other meeting. Attendance will be limited, but will be open to all current and emerging biomedical engineering and bioengineering academic programs in the US (two individuals per institution), and will include representatives from industry and the field of learning science. Minority serving institutions will be particularly encouraged to attend, and selected international universities will also be invited. The conference objectives are to 1) share best practices in curriculum and pedagogy, 2) nurture and expand a community in which relevant individuals across the country and around the world know each other and their educational work, 3) exchange ideas about curriculum in a setting where biomedical engineering education rather than research takes center stage, 4) assist newer programs using knowledge gained by more mature programs, and refresh the ideas of established programs, 5) enhance the likelihood that minority serving institutions will adopt biomedical engineering as a major, and 6) discuss the core curricula and areas of specialization that will enable biomedical engineering students to best prepare for industry, medicine, or graduate study. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE STATEMENT (provided by applicant): Biomedical engineers are an important part of the workforce that contributes to advances in the increasingly technological field of healthcare in the US and abroad. This conference is designed to foster progress in biomedical engineering education at the undergraduate level. The conference will bring together individuals from academia and industry to discuss the ways in which students can be best prepared with the content knowledge, skills and attitudes to be innovative and adaptive in biomedical engineering careers.

描述(申请人提供)：第三届生物医学工程高峰会议将于2008年6月举行，这将是自2005年以来首次以生物医学工程教育为重点的会议。完全支持前两届峰会的惠特克基金会不再作为赞助商，生物医学工程和生物工程主席理事会(CoC)和美国工程教育学会(ASEE Bed)的生物医学工程部将共同主办第三次峰会。这次会议被设计为一次工作会议，旨在促进本科阶段生物医学工程教育的进步，这是任何其他会议都不可能做到的。参加人数有限，但将向美国所有当前和新兴的生物医学工程和生物工程学术项目开放(每个机构两名个人)，并将包括来自行业和学习科学领域的代表。将特别鼓励少数族裔服务机构参加，还将邀请选定的国际大学。会议的目标是1)分享课程和教学方面的最佳实践，2)培养和扩大一个社区，让全国和世界各地的相关个人相互了解他们的教育工作，3)在生物医学工程教育而不是研究的中心舞台上交流关于课程的想法，4)利用更成熟的课程获得的知识帮助较新的课程，并更新现有课程的想法，5)增加少数服务机构将生物医学工程作为专业的可能性，以及6)讨论使生物医学工程学生能够最好地为工业、医学或研究生学习做好准备的核心课程和专业领域。 公共卫生相关声明(由申请者提供)：生物医学工程师是劳动力中的重要组成部分，为美国和国外日益技术化的医疗保健领域的进步做出了贡献。本次会议旨在促进本科生生物医学工程教育的进步。会议将汇集来自学术界和产业界的个人，讨论学生如何在内容知识、技能和态度方面做好最好的准备，以便在生物医学工程职业生涯中具有创新性和适应性。
