The 2003 annual technical conference of Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA), called "the US-Korea Conference on Science, Technology, and Entrepreneurship-2003 (UKC-2003)", will be held in Pasadena, California, USA, during August 8-10, 2003. The Purpose of this Conference is to provide an opportunity for the interested group to meet the mind of the young and the old, from all over the US and Korea, and to meet the frontier researchers, and to learn the new trends of science and technology for revisit their own fields, specifically in Biological Science and Technology, Chemical Science and Engineering, Information and Communication Technology, and Space Science and Technology. The annual UKC in recent years had been co-organized by KSEA and the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies (KOFST), and supported by Korea-US Science Cooperation Center (KUSCO) and many other major industries. As a part of the celebration of the Celebration of the 100th years of Korean Immigration to USA, experts on History of the Korean Immigration of Scientists and Engineers, Culture of the Korean-American Community, and Education will be invited this year, to redefine the new directions of the science and technology education. The technical program of UKC-2003 will be limited to those mentioned thrust areas, however, Forums on "Young Generation" and "Women Scientists and Engineers" will be opened, as well as Workshops on "Entrepreneurships", "Career Development" and "Job Fair" will be prepared.
