and graduate students pursuing a degree in science, engineering, 
mathematics, architecture, computer science, or other technical fields.

*IAESTE United States National Conference:*

 

The IAESTE United States National Conference (February 7-10, 2008) 
brings together students from the country's top science and engineering 
universities, as well as professional members from many technical 
disciplines.  The 10th annual IAESTE United States National 
Conference's theme, //The "I" Factor: Make It Work for You//, focuses on 
the many qualities, experiences, and skills necessary for a successful 
global technical professional -- many happen to be 'i' words, such as: 
international, ingenuity, interdependence, intelligence, ideas, 
innovation, and, of course, IAESTE. Attendees take part in educational 
sessions and workshops designed to promote leadership, cross cultural 
understanding and technical career development. Topics for workshops 
include leadership in a global context, international opportunities for 
students and professionals, volunteerism, and much more. Register today 
at _www.iaestenatlconf.org <http://www.iaestenatlconf.org>_.
