U.S.-Mexico Joint Workshop on Research and Educational Opportunities in Manufacturing

该奖项将支持美国-墨西哥项目开发研讨会，研究和教育制造业的机会。美国方面由德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校Rene Villalobos教授和利哈伊大学Louis Martin Vega教授，墨西哥方面由蒙特雷理工学院Eugenio Garcia教授和克雷塔罗州技术援助调查中心Felipe Rubio教授组织，讲习班将有助于确定两国学术界和工业界之间进行联合研究的机会，并促进学术/政府/工业伙伴关系的发展。美国和墨西哥在制造业领域的联系越来越紧密。美国制造业的演变，墨西哥公司在美国市场的存在增加，以及北美自由贸易协定（NAFTA）的实施都有利于扩大两国之间的集成制造业务。由于这些原因，美国国家科学基金会和墨西哥国家科学技术委员会（CONACYT）已经同意支持这个项目开发研讨会，并期望它将得出一套对两家机构和其他有关制造业领域的机构有用的建议。该活动由美国国家科学基金会的设计、制造和工业创新部（DMII）和国际项目部共同资助。＊＊＊

9731022 Villalobos This award will support a U. S.-Mexico program development workshop on research and educational opportunities in manufacturing. Organized by Prof. Rene Villalobos of the University of Texas at El Paso and Prof. Louis Martin Vega from Lehigh University for the U.S. side, and Prof. Eugenio Garcia of the Instituto Tecnologico de Monterrey and Prof. Felipe Rubio of the Centro de Investigacion y Asistencia Tecnica del Estado de Queretaro for the Mexican side, the workshop will serve to identify opportunities for joint research between the academic and industrial communities in both countries and as a catalyst for the development of academic/governmental/industrial partnerships. The links in the area of manufacturing between the United States and Mexico are becoming stronger. The evolution of manufacturing in the United States, the increased presence of Mexican companies in the U.S. market, and the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) are all conducive to the expansion of integrated manufacturing operations between the two countries. For these reasons, the NSF and the Mexican National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT) have agreed to support this program development workshop with the expectation that it will arrive at a set of recommendations that will be useful to both agencies and to others concerning the manufacturing arena. The activity is being jointly funded on the NSF side by the Division of Design, Manufacture, & Industrial Innovation (DMII) and the Division of International Programs. ***
