Program
Benefits
Annual Meeting
Affiliated companies are invited to send
representatives
to the Annual Affiliates meeting where presentations give members
a broad
view of current BIOE research. Over lunch, breaks, and breakout
sessions,
attendees can speak to individuals whose work is of particular
interest
to them.
Student
Resumes
Affiliated companies receive resumes of
students
looking for summer jobs or permanent employment after graduation.
Member Visits to the Rice
Campus
Affiliates are encouraged to visit the
department
during the year to discuss topics of mutual interest. During these
visits,
members can bring technical problems to the attention of faculty
members
and to outline what they believe to be key issues in advancing the
state
of the art in their fields.
Faculty Visit to Member
Facility
A BIOE faculty member will make one visit annually to an
affiliated company’s
facility, as requested by the company. The visit can be used to
discuss
particular aspects of current research projects, or faculty
members can
conduct a seminar of interest to the affiliate. Member companies
are responsible
for the travel expenses of the faculty member.
Corporate-Faculty
Liaison
A BIOE faculty member will serve as the main contact for the
affiliated
company to facilitate the exchange of ideas between the company
and the
department.
