June 18, 2007

Dr. Zhao led a seminar in Engineering in Motion
workshop, in collaboration with Women in Engineering program, at the Ohio State University. The two-section seminar entitled "Meeting with the Small: Biomedical Micro- & Nanosystems" was presented to 34 male and female students who have completed the 9th or 10th grade. This interactive seminar was designed to meet the education context of the participating students, which introduces to them the fundamental skills that improve their chances for success in engineering courses and their future careers through hands-on activities.
