All Outreaching Efforts:

IBE | NBTC | CURIE Academy


IBE:	The Institute of Biological Engineering (IBE) is a professional organization which encourages inquiry and interest in biological engineering. The emerging discipline of biological engineering lies at the interfaces of biological sciences, engineering sciences, mathematics and computational sciences. It applies biological systems to enhance of the quality and diversity of life. IBE supports: Scholarship in education, research and service. Professional standards for engingeering practices. Professional and technical development of biological engineering. Interactions among academia, industry and government. Public understanding and responsible uses of biological engineering products. Professor Norman Scott and Professor Dan Luo are the "faculty co-advisors" of Cornell Student Chapter of IBE. To join the cornell student chapter, please contact the president: Ms. Claudia Bermudez. The Cornell student chapter of IBE is organizing the 2nd Annual BioExpo which will be held in April 2004. The student chapter is an all student-sponsored and organized research symposium for biological engineering and biomedical engineering students. Details will come soon. IBE students at Cornell also participated in Cornell Nanobiotechnology Center's outreach program (below).

NBTC:	The K-12 Education Program of the Nanobiotechnology Center is a learning collaboratorium that serves the needs of the K-12 community and advances the science literacy of the general public through the development of hands-on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) activities. The physical space and the organization of this learning collaboratorium are designed to foster the interactions between scientists (faculty, staff and students), teachers and K-12 students. The goals of the learning collaboratorium are: To establish an environment where creative people can collaborate. To create hands-on STEM activities to stimulate student interest in science, technology, engineering and math. To pilot these activities with kids and adults. To share these activities with our partners in the community.

CURIE Academy:	The CURIE Academy is a one-week residential program for high school girls who excel in math and science. It offers classes, labs, and research experiences designed and taught by Cornell's world class faculty and graduate students. Social events, panel discussions, and informal networking allows students to experience life on a university campus, and to make new friends from all over the country. The CURIE Academy seeks to advance diversity in engineering and encourages minorities to apply.
