BME 533 - Seminar in Biomedical Engineering
Mon, Jan 24, 2011 @ 12:30 PM - 01:50 PM
Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Kyriacos "Kerry" Athanasiou, UC Davis
Talk Title: Toward Mending Cartilage: Is Osteoarthritis Indeed Incurable?
Abstract: Articular cartilage is arguably the tissue most pivotal for motion and overall function. This soft, white tissue that covers the ends of our long bones cannot heal by itself. Indeed, articular cartilage is notorious for its degenerative progression to osteoarthritis following an injury. The demanding biomechanical milieu of a joint, plus cartilageâs relative lack of cells and blood supply, renders this tissue almost unique in its inability to repair adequately. This presentation will describe our group's efforts toward helping joint cartilages, such as hyaline tissue, knee meniscus, and the TMJ disc, repair themselves via tissue engineering approaches. Central to our efforts is the understanding of biomechanical relationships at multiple dimensional levels. Also shown will be some of our latest results using various stem cell sources that indicate that cartilage regeneration is inexorably becoming a tractable problem.
Biography: Kyriacos A. Athanasiou, is a Distinguished Professor and the Chair of Biomedical Engineering at the University of California Davis. He obtained his PhD from Columbia University in 1989 and has been a faculty member at the University of Texas and Rice University, prior to joining Davis in 2009. He has published 225 peer-reviewed papers, four authored books, and 28 patents. He has also served as president of the Biomedical Engineering Society. He has received numerous honors, such as the Thomas Edison Award from ASME, the Presidential Award form BMES, the Marshall Urist Award from ORS, the Van C. Mow Medal from ASME, etc. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the Annals of Biomedical Engineering. In addition to his academic interests, he has co-founded numerous bioengineering companies which have collectively brought to the market 15 FDA-approved products.

IEEE S-PAC
Mon, Jan 24, 2011 @ 05:00 PM - 09:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
Engineers must be professionally proficient, astute and acutely aware of their responsibility to society. Student Professional Awareness Conferences or S-PACS (pronounced "ess-paks") explore the broader subjects that affect engineers' careers.
S-PACs were first introduced in 1979 as a method of increasing professional awareness in a student's technical education. Since then, these conferences have become a strong force for improving the engineering profession. S-PACs give students an opportunity to learn from the varied experiences of successful engineers.
S-PACs are structured events where students listen to experienced engineers from diverse backgrounds speak on a topic from one of six categories: Career Growth, Working, Professional Ethics and Social Responsibility, Self-Management, Engineers and Public Policy, or The Importance of a Professional Society to You.
After the talk, students have a chance to interact with the speakers and industry representatives in an intimate, low-pressure setting. S-PACs allow corporate representatives to see what students are really like and vice versa.
The Student Professional Awareness Conference at the University of Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering will take place on Monday, January 24th, from 5pm - 9pm at the Radisson Hotel near USC (3540 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007). Join IEEE at USC for an evening of dining, networking, and story-telling! This year, our special guest, Michael Andrews, will share about his experiences as an engineer as gives a speech on "Professional Adventure - Your Job Search".
The final list of companies showing up to S-PAC is: Intel, Qualcomm, Sandia, GE Aviation, Boeing, Deloitte, Space-X, PwC, and Cypress Semiconductor.
For more information or to sign up, go to http://www-scf.usc.edu/~ieee/spac. We look forward to your presence at our S-PAC!Location: USC Radisson Hotel

Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship Program
Mon, Jan 24, 2011 @ 05:30 PM - 07:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Workshops & Infosessions
Qualcomm is sponsoring a new Innovation Fellowship (QInF 2011) program, www.qualcomm.com/innovationfellowship. The deadline has been advanced from last year and is now February 15, 2011. See the email below for details and the web sites
http://www.qualcomm.com/innovation/research/university_relations/innovation_fellowship.html (past programs and winners)
http://www.qualcomm.com/innovation/research/university_relations/innovation_fellowship/qinf11.html
As before, the Qualcomm Fellowship is rather unusual because it involves teams of two students. The technical areas of interest can be experimental, theoretical or anything in between; and need not necessarily be in an area of commercial interest to Qualcomm.
5:30pm â 6:30pm: Qualcomm innovation Fellowship Overview and Q&A
6:30pm â 7:00pm: Social MixerLocation: Grace Ford Salvatori Hall Of Letters, Arts & Sciences (GFS) - 106

AIChE 1st GM/Peer-to-Peer Anonymous Resume Critique
Mon, Jan 24, 2011 @ 06:30 PM - 08:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
Come out to AIChE's 1st General Meeting of the spring semester to find out about our upcoming events this semester. This meeting will also host AIChE's resume workshop, an anonymous resume exchange program geared to help members make their last revisions and improvements to their resumes in time for the Viterbi Career Fair on Wednesday, Jan. 26th. We will also go over tips on your 30 second pitch, emailing recruiters, and how to dress for the Career Expo!
An anonymous resume means you can change your name, the name of the companies you worked for, hide your GPA, etc. Also bring a posting of a job you are applying for so that your resume's relevance to that job can be critiqued. RSVP by Jan. 21st @ 5pm at:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDRmRkJuN1R2SjlZOUJteVozTHhrZWc6MQ
*For those who have paid and ordered one, t-shirts will be available for pick-up at the first general meeting. *Membership dues will also be collected. Paid membership will be required for some upcoming events that you won't want to miss!
