CALL FOR PAPERS - SPECIAL ISSUE OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING EDUCATION

Biomedical Engineering Education is a new BMES journal to be published by Springer. To serve the BMES educational community during the COVID-19 pandemic, Biomedical Engineering Education will publish a special inaugural issue in late summer 2020 with Teaching Tips articles describing prior, current, and planned efforts by BME programs to address remote teaching and learning challenges. Rapid, editorial review of submitted papers will begin on June 20, 2020, and will continue until a final submission deadline of June 30, 2020. Please see the attached file for details. We are counting on the ASEE community to be a strong contributor of articles! Direct any questions to Ann Saterbak (ann.saterbak@duke.edu).
