Engineering colleges have developed a wide range of individual education and research exchange programs with institutions in Germany, some with support through such organizations as the von Humboldt Foundation and the DAAD, many with State support. There is a need to assess the status of the cooperative programs between U.S. and German institutions so that successful experiences and procedures can be shared. It is with these developments in mind that a workshop assessing the overall impact of U.S.-German cooperative programs in Mechanical Engineering is supported. There are multiple objectives for the workshop, including: (1) an evaluation of existing U.S./Germany cooperative programs in Mechanical Engineering; (2) an assessment of problems associated with developing a cooperative program; (3) the development of guidelines/procedures of the initiation of U.S./Germany cooperative programs, (4) the establishment of goals for increasing the number of cooperative programs with Germany; and, (5) the development of recommendations for the role that NSF could play in advancing international cooperation in Mechanical Engineering. Based on the evaluation of existing programs and associated problems, goals will be established for increasing the number of U.S./Germany cooperative programs and recommendations will be offered for the role that the USA may play in advancing international cooperation with Germany. A workshop report will be prepared.

工程学院与德国的机构制定了广泛的个人教育和研究交流计划，其中一些得到了冯·洪堡基金会和DAAD等组织的支持，许多得到了国家的支持。有必要评估美国和德国机构之间的合作项目的状况，以便分享成功的经验和程序。正是考虑到这些发展，一个评估美德机械工程合作项目总体影响的研讨会得到了支持。研讨会有多个目标，包括：(1)评估现有的美德机械工程合作计划；(2)评估与发展合作计划有关的问题；(3)制定启动美国/德国合作项目的指导方针/程序；(4)确定增加与德国合作项目数量的目标；(5)就NSF在推进机械工程国际合作中所能发挥的作用提出建议。根据对现有项目和相关问题的评估，将确定增加美德合作项目数量的目标，并就美国在推进与德国的国际合作中可能发挥的作用提出建议。将编写一份研讨会报告。
