Exploring the Synergy between structural health and human health monitoring
The vision of this ERC is Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials and the underlying technologies.
This will lead to engineered systems that will interface with the human body to prolong and improve quality of life.
The Center will also develop a creative, innovative and globally competitive diverse workforce for the U.S. biomedical implant industry, well-prepared for the multidisciplinary and global challenges and opportunities of the new millennium.
Education Plan
The education and outreach activities are dedicated to the goal of developing a vibrant, diverse workforce well-prepared for the multidisciplinary and global challenges and opportunities offered by bioengineering - projected to have the largest increase in jobs over the next decade and attracting the highest rate of participation by women and other minorities. This goal will be accomplished through carefully planned programs for pre-college education, curricular education of undergraduate and graduate students including the development of a bioengineering program at North Carolina A & T State University and professional education and outreach at all levels. The programs are designed to promote the growth of a technically-competent new millennial workforce armed with the global and entrepreneurial mind set essential to advance into leadership positions in industry, government and academia.

Cyber Defense and Disaster Recovery Conference 2010: Protecting Yourself and Your Business from International Threats In 2010, we will address the very present and ever growing risk to businesses and individuals from international cyber threats. Most foreign intelligence services that pose a risk to the United States have moved to an asymmetric posture, using both cyber-based and physical contact methods to gather intelligence information to gain a technological and/or military advantage. This asymmetric attack manifests itself in a variety of ways: direct attacks on major computer networks to steal information; compromising of key persons through e-mail and social networking on the Internet who may or may not be aware of their assistance to the adversary; and physically contacting U.S. persons both at home and while on foreign travel to compromise them and/or their electronic devices, among others. Due to the "take all" attitude of foreign intelligence services and the insiders they compromise, no one is immune it is important for all of us to maintain a healthy respect for the privacy of our personal and business electronics and information in the global economy. We will have 8 speakers approach the theme from different perspectives. Our keynote speaker is Michael Davis, co author of the high regarded Hacking Exposed.

This workshop will explore how a geospatial system can assist in making an informed decision through the use of geospatial information technology system. The concept of the workshop is how to visualize data that has a spatial orientation. The participants will learn how to take data that is contained within a spreadsheet and display it spatially. This will include displaying the data via address or position (latitude and longitude) as well as how to summarize data and display the summary information. The concepts geocoding and summation of data through the COUNTIF function of Excel will be done. Online basemaps will be utilized. No previous knowledge of GIS is required. Online video and documentation will be available to the participants for reference and continued study after the workshop.

The College of Engineering and Engineering Technology at McNeese State University invites you to participate in the 2010 American Society for Engineering Education Gulf Southwest Regional Conference. The conference will be held at L'Auberge du Lac Casino Resort in Lake Charles, LA. Engineering and technology faculty and students, ASEE members and non-members, as well as engineers working in industry with an interest in engineering education, are invited to present their work or simply attend the conference.
This presentation is aimed at providing insight and best practices to implement when recruiting students into STEM-related fields of study, specifically students from a wide breadth of academic disciplines into a one-semester nanotechnology Capstone Semester. A NACK Center staff member will discuss these strategies, as well as provide tips on how to promote existing programs to students. We will also share materials used in a NACK recruitment presentation, which is constantly updated, to introduce students to nanotechnology and the nano-scale, as well as highlight current and innovative research that is changing their lives on a daily basis. This is a great way to learn how to keep your content “fresh” and to truly connect with your current and potential students who are pursuing STEM-related fields of study.
In just one year’s time, Jamie Houseknecht, who is serving as the NACK College Recruitment Coordinator, has increased enrollment by over 25% within the NMT Capstone Semester. He recruits students from all of the 33 partner institutions across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which are at both the associate and baccalaureate degree granting level. By connecting with students via interactive discussion, open forum-style events, following up with interested parties, and relating to them on a personal level, Jamie and the NACK National ATE Center have witnessed the highest average enrollment over three semesters since the NMT Capstone Semester began in 1999.
In just one year’s time, Jamie Houseknecht, who is serving as the NACK College Recruitment Coordinator, has increased enrollment by over 25% within the NMT Capstone Semester. He recruits students from all of the 33 partner institutions across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which are at both the associate and baccalaureate degree granting level. By connecting with students via interactive discussion, open forum-style events, following up with interested parties, and relating to them on a personal level, Jamie and the NACK National ATE Center have witnessed the highest average enrollment over three semesters since the NMT Capstone Semester began in 1999.
This event will:
*Update the ACE Center Leadership with specific focus on the ACE Strategic Plan and the implications to the Community
*White Space for members to speak to other community members about topics of mutual interest
*Voices from the Field – How to Renew and Refresh – Rose Asera, Senior Scholar for the Carnegie Foundation
This event is open to anyone in ACE and has a ten dollar fee which is payable at the session.

NanoDays is our nationwide festival of educational programs about nanoscale science and engineering and its potential impact on the future. NanoDays events are organized by participants in the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Net), and take place at over 200 science museums, research centers, and universities across the country from Maine to Hawaii.
What Can YOU Do?
NanoDays activities often bring university researchers together with science museum educators, creating unique learning experiences. NanoDays engages people of all ages in a miniscule world where materials have special properties and new technologies have spectacular promise.
Many NanoDays celebrations will combine simple hands-on activities for young people with events exploring current research for adults. One popular activity involves visitors working together to build a giant balloon model of a carbon nanotube. (Real carbon nanotubes, which are 1/50,000th of the width of a human hair, have extraordinary strength and unusual electrical properties that make them useful in electronics and materials science.
Other NanoDays activities demonstrate different, unexpected properties of materials at the nanoscale -- sand that won’t get wet even under water, water that won’t spill from a teacup, and colors that depend upon particle size.
Some NanoDays participants host public forums, discussions about the risks and benefits of particular appllications of nanotechnology. Many participating universities host public tours of their laboratories that work with nanoscale science and technology.
