This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte for the renovation and repair of Smith Engineering Building which houses that institution's civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering and computer science research and research training activities. This building was constructed in 1966 and has not been renovated since that time. The ARFMP grant of $200,000 and $200,850 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and research training facilities and will help sustain the growth in and increasing technical demands of the research program of the College of Engineering. This project will address the need to improve the current research infrastructure by (a) providing better environmental control for the building, additional wiring to upgrade the data communications system between offices and laboratories in speed and capabilities, and space in the laboratories for graduate students; (b) locating or reconfiguring many of the research laboratories and support shops to achieve increased space with greater efficiency for use in new projects; and (c) improving the security of the laboratories. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science and engineering by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of quality undergraduate and graduate students. Engineering research at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte has turned in recent years to several areas of significant national importance, including micro- and opto-electronics and computer-controlled manufacturing. Students trained in these laboratories, which will be better suited to such studies as a result of the renovation, are in demand in both basic and applied research fields.

这项学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP）由研究设施办公室颁发，为北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校提供资金，用于史密斯工程大楼的翻新和维修，该大楼容纳了该机构的土木、电气和机械工程以及计算机科学研究和研究培训活动。这座建筑建于1966年，从那时起就没有翻修过。ARFMP拨款20万美元和200,850美元作为成本分摊，将用于这些研究和研究培训设施的现代化，并将有助于维持工程学院研究项目的增长和不断增长的技术需求。该项目将通过以下方式解决改善现有研究基础设施的需要：(a)为建筑物提供更好的环境控制，增加线路以提高办公室和实验室之间的数据通信系统的速度和能力，以及在实验室为研究生提供空间；（二）将多间研究化验室及支援车间迁置或重新配置，以增加空间及提高效率，供新项目使用；(c)提高实验室的安全性。该奖项为科学和工程的基础设施提供了一个更好的环境，以进行研究和培养高素质的本科生和研究生。近年来，北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校的工程研究转向了几个对国家具有重要意义的领域，包括微电子和光电子以及计算机控制制造。基础研究和应用研究领域都需要在这些实验室受过训练的学生，这些实验室将由于改造而更适合这类研究。
