This CD was designed for physicians' CEU credits, to use to upgrade their knowledge about the new possibilities and tools in genetics and molecular biology that the physician may not have learned in medical school.  The NSF project is to adapt the use of the CD for the college classroom.  Some wonderful ideas have come out of the first year of use in the classroom that will be developed by means of a second grant.  CSU faculty and staff may find these approaches useful, particularly in light of the increased demand of the Biotech and Biosciences Industry in California for a well-educated and well-trained bioscience workforce. Meeting this need is our collective job as educational institution members. 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Lunch and Networking in San Jose/Santa Clara Rooms 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Dr. Regan Stinnett Sandia National Laboratories Albuquerque NM. Future Workforce Issues in Micro/Nano Systems - Regan Stinnett did his thesis work in the field of magnetic fusion energy, graduating from the University of Texas at Austin in 1977 with a Ph. D. in plasma physics. He was hired by Sandia National Laboratories to do research in inertial confinement fusion and pulsed power. In 1987 Regan was promoted to manage intense pulsed ion beam experiments on Sandia's Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator 2. In 1995 Regan left Sandia to commercialize a new ion beam surface treatment technology that he co-invented at Sandia. To do this he co-founded Quantum Manufacturing Technologies, Inc. where he served as President and CEO. In 1999 Regan returned to Sandia to help in introducing micro/nano systems technologies to Sandia's business units. In 2001 he established the Microsystems and Engineering Sciences Applications (MESA) Institute to create partnerships between Sandia's micro and nano technologies programs and U.S. universities. In 2003 the MESA Institute sponsored 42 students from 25 universities in micro/nano work in 20 different Sandia organizations. Regan has also worked on the incorporation of micro/nano technologies into networked sensors systems for national security applications, co-leading Sandia's Advanced Concepts Group's study of microsensor systems for the War on Terrorism and working as Deputy Program Manager for Sandia's MicroTalon program. Regan has received the U.S. Department of Energy Award of Excellence for Contributions to the Nuclear Weapons Program and is the holder of 5 patents. 2:00 PM  - 3:30 PM Audience Discussion and Break-out Session - on special topics from the group present for the Sunday Special 3:30 PM Adjourn Co-sponsored by CSUPERB,  The California Community Colleges Biological Technologies Initiative  and   Bio-Link, the National Science Foundation Advanced Technology Education Center for Biotechnology  Special Note to Community College Faculty: You are welcome to attend any part of the CSUPERB Annual Conference.  If you are attending any time on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, you MUST register with CSUPERB.  Although CSUPERB cannot pay for any of your travel or lodging, you do need to register with them so they know how many people will be attending and eating, as they do cover the cost of meals for CC faculty members. Please  and register for the symposium and Saturday Special.  Travel and lodging must be paid by the community college attendee.  The ED>Net Biotech Center Directors often sponsor travel funds for faculty members to attend this conference.  Contact them directly. If you do not know your regional director and center, please go to www.cccbiotech.org to find the appropriate director and center.   In partnership with CSUPERB, the "Sunday Special" is sponsored by: The Applied Biological Technologies Initiative of the California Community Colleges Economic Development Network - Mary Pat Huxley, State Director, (805) 648 8977 - email: mphuxley@vcccd.net And by Bio-Link, the National Science Foundation Advanced Technology Education Center in Biotechnology, located at City College San Francisco, serving the community colleges of the United States - Dr. Elaine Johnson, Director.

****************************************************************************************** Room/Board: Meals and lodging at the Doubletree Hotel are available at no charge to registered CSU faculty, staff and students. 
Travel Reimbursement:

To minimize the cost of travel, use contracted rates whenever possible. The maximum that CSUPERB will reimburse for air travel between contracted cities and car rentals will be the state contract rate.

Faculty and Staff: All CSU faculty and staff are eligible for reimbursement of travel expenses incurred to attend the symposium.  To be reimbursed, in addition to registering,  please follow the reimbursement procedures on the Faculty Travel Reimbursement Procedures website, . (You do not need to apply through the Faculty Travel Grants Program, nor will you need to include lodging and meals covered during the Symposium).

Student: A portion of the CSUPERB travel fund will be set aside to cover round-trip travel for CSU students presenting posters at the Annual CSUPERB Biotechnology Symposium.  As many students as possible will be supported; it is anticipated that a $150 per student limit will be applied for travel to the Symposium. To be reimbursed, please follow the reimbursement procedures on the Student Travel Reimbursement Procedures website, . Please pay special attention to the eligibility requirements; in addition to presenting a poster, each student must be a CSU employee. If the student will not be a paid employee during the period of time of the travel to the symposium (such as teaching/research assistant or work study), the student may sign up as a voluntary employee for that time period. The student must do this prior to the travel by filling out the appropriate forms at the Personnel Office.  This process may take several days, so plan accordingly. You do not need to apply through the Student Travel Grants Program, nor will you need to include lodging and meals covered during the Symposium.
