Grants for Students to Attend the 2000 American Power Conference. To be held April, 2000 in Chicago, IL

美国电力会议（APC）由伊利诺伊理工学院（IIT）主办，是一个年度国家论坛，讨论发电，输电，配电和电力利用的广泛技术方面。 APC具有重要的教育价值，特别是对旨在了解更多电力行业的本科生。 认识到这一事实，IIT一直在为教师和学生开展一项特别计划，称为本埃利奥特赞助的学生/教师（SSF）计划。 该计划包括特别的早餐研讨会和其他活动（例如，工厂图尔斯，饼干桶）明确为学生除了定期APC技术会议。 拟议的参与者支持赠款将大大有助于本埃利奥特SSF计划在其使命鼓励更多的学生（特别是本科生）追求职业生涯在电力工程。

The American Power Conference (APC) sponsored by the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) , is an annual national forum for the discussion of the broad technical aspects of generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric power. APC has significant educational value particularly for undergraduate students who aim to learn more about the electric power industry. In recognition of this fact, IIT has been conducting a special program for faculty and students, called the Ben Elliot Sponsored Student/Faculty (SSF) Program. The program features special breakfast seminars and other events(e.g., plant tours, cracker barrel) expressly for students in addition to the regular APC technical sessions. The proposed participant support grants will significantly aid the Ben Elliott SSF Program in its mission of encouraging more students (especially undergraduates to pursue careers in power engineering.
