SES 2010 Annual Technical Meeting - Call for Papers

The Society of the Engineering Science is sponsoring the 47th Annual Technical Meeting (SES2010) on October 4-6, 2010 at Iowa State University in Ames, IA. The meeting is held on biannual basis as a standalone meeting to foster and promote the exchange of ideas and information among the various disciplines of engineering and the fields of physics, chemistry, mathematics, bioengineering and related scientific and engineering fields.

Now the conference is open to abstract submission.  Please visit the conference website and submit your abstract online.  The deadline for submitting your abstract is Friday, May 7, at 5pm (CST).
