Engineering graduate students and undergraduate interns whose
research falls under the broad category of bioengineering,
especially in biomaterials and/or biomechanics, currently participate
in this meeting. Participating students are expected to present
at this meeting once per semester. The spring and fall BIO
Research Seminar includes original research presentations and
the summer BIO Journal Club includes critical reviews.
"JOURNAL CLUB" EXPECTATIONS:
The "Journal Club" emphasis will
be on scholarly discussion and critical thinking. Speakers
should select a recent journal article related to "bioengineering," and
preferably biomaterials and/or biomechanics. Speakers must
email a pdf file (original or scanned copy) of their chosen
journal article to Weimin Yue (Weimin.Yue.2@nd.edu)
by noon the friday before their scheduled time. The paper
will then be available on this website (click on speakers
name) so that participants may view the paper before the
meeting. Speakers will present important aspects of the paper
and should be prepared to answer questions related to relevant
background information. Participating students should come
prepared to discuss the chosen journal article.The
atmosphere will be very informal. Bring your lunch.
"JOURNAL CLUB" GOALS:
To foster a dynamic, positively-reinforced
atmosphere of research activity amongst participating students,
which includes the following:
a) participation in scholarly
discussions
b) development of critical thinking skills
c) keeping current on literature related to your research
d) stimulation of further intellectual discussion, questions,
and fortuitous ideas outside the meeting
e) a community of sorts for those engaged in related research
projects
