Preliminary Announcement

2008 Summer Bioengineering Conference

Marco Island, Florida

June 25-29, 2008

 

 

The Bioengineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers cordially invites you to attend the 2008 Summer Bioengineering Conference. An outstanding scientific program has been planned, including Plenary Lectures, Symposia, Workshops, and Student Competitions. Both oral and poster sessions will be presented in spectacular surroundings.  Marco Island is a world-class resort with miles of pristine beaches, archaelogical sites, several National Parks and the Everglades in its vicinity (http://www.marco-island-florida.com/).

 

Further information about the meeting will be available via: http://divisions.asme.org/bed/events  

 

Student Paper Competition: Abstracts are solicited for student paper competitions at the levels of BS, MS and PhD. Students selected for the competition will be able to present their work in sessions where only student presentations are given – both in dedicated student poster sessions and in highlighted PhD oral sessions. Cash awards will be made to the top papers at each level in multiple technical areas.  Funds are being sought that would allow for reduced conference registration for Student Paper Competition participants.  In addition, conference organizers are currently negotiating for reduced lodging costs for all students attending the conference.
