ASME 2012 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（BED）主办年度夏季生物工程会议（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。本次会议的主要目的是 促进国家的最先进的研究，合作，并在生物工程的广泛领域的科学话语，重点是尖端的生物力学，包括分子组织和有机体水平的方法。该会议有一个很好的记录，汇集了来自众多学科的研究人员和教育工作者在他们的职业生涯的各个阶段。这次会议的显著特点是其轻松的气氛和有目的的不定期的时间，允许非正式的互动和与会者之间的思想交流。今年，我们选择了成像的艺术和科学，因为它适用于生物力学工程作为我们的主题。医学成像正在迅速成为一种重要的工具，无论是进行基础性的发现，还是将其转化为常规的临床应用。今年，SBC将首次突出成像作为教育和激励与会者考虑在各种生物力学工程学科中使用和整合成像的一种方式。BED领导层敏锐地意识到并致力于生物工程的未来，并采取专门措施，通过高质量的科学演示，精心挑选的主讲人和研讨会，以及非常成功的学生论文比赛，最大限度地提高学生在SBC中的参与度。该提案的主要具体目标是激励学生，并在2012年SBC为他们提供机会，体验跨学科应用的新兴生物医学技术。我们将通过单独的学生论文征集活动来保持或增加学生的参与，举行只有学生演讲的突出会议，并将学生注册费降低175美元。 公共卫生相关性：2012年夏季生物工程会议（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。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。今年，我们选择了成像的艺术和科学，因为它适用于生物力学工程作为我们的主题。该提案的主要具体目标是激励学生，并为他们提供机会，体验在2012年SBC跨学科应用的新兴生物医学技术。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 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. The conference has an excellent track record of bringing together researchers and educators from numerous disciplines at various stages of their careers. Distinguishing features of this conference are its relaxed atmosphere and purposefully unscheduled time to permit informal interactions and exchange of ideas among participants. This year we have selected The Art and Science of Imaging as it applies to biomechanical engineering as our theme. Medical imaging is fast becoming an essential tool, both for making fundamental discoveries and for translating them to routine clinical use. This year, for the first time, SBC will highlight Imaging as a way to educate and inspire our attendees to consider the use and integration of imaging in the various biomechanical engineering disciplines. The BED leadership is keenly aware of and committed to the future of bioengineering and takes dedicated measures to maximize student participation in the SBC through the high-quality scientific presentations, careful selection of keynote speakers and workshops, and a highly successful Student Paper Competition. The primary specific aim of this proposal is to energize students and offer them opportunities at the 2012 SBC to experience emerging biomedical technologies that apply across disciplines. We will maintain or increase student participation through a separate student Call for Papers, holding highlighted sessions where only student presentations are given, and reduce the student registration fee by $175.
