2012 Summer Bioengineering Conference Student Paper Competition

The Bioengineering Division sponsors a Student Paper Competition at the annual Summer Bioengineering Conference (SBC). There are three competition levels: Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. There are also cash awards for the top three student papers in each level. The competition is divided into multiple technical areas to provide for a fair evaluation of student work.
