  4. What is NSBE/SBES? The Society of Black Engineers and Scientists is a local chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers geared toward fulfilling our national mission statement. As a chapter in Region 6, we aim to inform, motivate, and develop professional oriented students who can succeed and compete in their educational goals. Through SBES we would like to create an environment where students can socialize and network with each other while working on their professional development skills.

  5. State of the Industry • Painless laser device could spot early signs of disease • By Katia Moskvitch Science reporter, BBC News • Portable devices with painless laser beams could soon replace X-rays as a non-invasive way to diagnose disease. Researchers say that the technique could become widely available in about five years. • Scientists believe that the technology would make the diagnosis of illnesses faster, cheaper and more accurate. Raman spectroscopy is the measurement of the intensity and wavelength of scattered light from molecules. • They have been working on cadavers, but say that Raman spectroscopy could prove effective in living patients. • "You can replace a lot of procedures, a lot of diagnostics that are out there right now. The big advantage is that it's non-invasive, pretty fast - much faster than classical procedures - and more accurate," Michael Morris University of Michigan, USA
