January 2005

Dear Fellow Memphis-Area Scientists and Engineers:

On behalf of the technical committee, I am very pleased to announce the Call for Participation in the 2005 Memphis Area Engineering & Sciences Conference.

The intent of this conference is to bring together scientists, engineers, and other professionals in all disciplines to share their knowledge and to discuss the current issues in science, technology, and engineering. With a very positive outcome from the MAESC 2004 Conference, we are encouraged and honored to host the seventh annual conference on May 11, 2005.

The theme of this year’s conference is Engineering Management: Leadership in Engineering Practice & Education. As with previous conferences, MAESC 2005 will include papers and presentations on many diverse technical fields. These include, but are not limited to: engineering management, bioengineering, chemical engineering, civil and environmental engineering/science, electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, biology, biochemistry, biomedical, biochemical, manufacturing processes, materials, nanotechnology, ethics, economy, emerging technology, simulation/modeling, education, innovation. If enough abstracts are received on a topic to fill an entire session, a new session will be formed.

MAESC 2005 will also have a poster session for those papers that cannot be placed into existing sessions.

Many local chapters of national organizations are cosponsors of MAESC 2005. Being a cosponsor in this conference will enhance your organizations visibility and perhaps increase its membership.

All abstracts are to be submitted via email to abstract@cbu.edu by February 28, 2005.\

I sincerely invite you to participate in the MAESC 2005 Conference and share your expertise with your colleagues. Your participation in MAESC 2005 will help make it a success and broaden the knowledge of the Memphis area technical community.

Regards,

Joe Londino, Ph.D.
Technical Program Chair
