Conference: Student Paper Competition at the 2002 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium, Seattle, WA, June 2-7, 2002

该项目要求为参加2002年IEEE MTT-S国际微波研讨会（IMS）的学生论文竞赛的18名美国大学参与者提供旅行支持。IMS是电气和电子工程师协会微波理论与技术协会（MTT-S）的年度会议。Inc.（IEEE）。IMS也是微波领域的主要国际研讨会和无线通信研究成果的焦点。2002年国际微波理论与技术大会将于2002年6月2日至7日在美国华盛顿州的西雅图举行。其中最重要的是在IMS的学生论文比赛。这个选择性的课程将来自世界各地的最优秀的学生聚集在一个综合课程中，他们不仅向技术观众，而且还向一群评委展示他们的作品。该计划有助于培养学生的技术敏锐性以及他们的沟通和表达技巧。它还帮助将他们介绍给国际技术界，并帮助建立一个将领导下一代微波工程师的学生社区。IMS提供各种形式的财政支持，但不报销差旅费。NSF的旅行支持将确保该计划向来自美国大学的最广泛的感兴趣的申请人开放。

This project requests travel support for 18 participants from U.S. universities in the Student Paper Competition at the 2002 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS). The IMS is the annual meeting of the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Inc. (IEEE). The IMS is also the major international symposium in the microwave field and a focus of research results in wireless telecommunications. The 2002 IMS will be held in Seattle, WA, USA on June 2-7, 2002.Each year, the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society promotes student education in microwave theory and techniques through a number of mechanisms. One of the most important is the Student Paper Competition at the IMS. This selective program brings the best students from around the world together in an integrated program in which they present their work not only to a technical audience but also to a group of judges. The program helps develop the technical acumen of the students as well as their communication and presentation skills. It also helps introduce them to the international technical community and helps to build a community of students who will lead the next generation of microwave engineers.The IMS provides financial support of various forms but does not reimburse travel expenses. Travel support from NSF will ensure that the program is open to the widest range of interested applicants from U.S. universities.
