Purpose

The Southern California Conference on Biomechanics (SCCB) is held to achieve the following purposes.

1. To foster the professional development of graduate and undergraduate students in biomechanics and provide these students an opportunity to present their research to the biomechanics community.
2. To increase collaboration and the exchange of knowledge among biomechanics programs in the greater Southern California area. 
3. To promote biomechanics throughout the greater Southern California area. 

The mission of SCCB is supportive of the mission of the American Society of Biomechanics (ASB) which is:

To encourage and foster the exchange of information and ideas among biomechanists working in different disciplines and fields of application, biological sciences, exercise and sports science, health sciences, ergonomics and human factors, and engineering and applied science, and to facilitate the development of biomechanics as a basic and applied science.
