NSF/CONACyT: Collaborative Research: US-Mexico Virtual Laboratory for Electronics Manufacturing

该补助金是为期一年的NSF/CONACyT合作研究奖，旨在设计，开发和形成美国和墨西哥大学在电子制造领域开展研究和教育项目的网络。 其目标是通过来自美国和墨西哥的研究人员的联合研究努力，利用网络基础设施，利用互补的人才和兴趣，推进科学和工程知识。 合作大学有：亚利桑那州立大学、得克萨斯农工大学和瓜达拉哈拉大学。 重点将放在建立一个制造网络（MANET）。 预计拟议的网络将成为一个模式，以后将推广到美国和墨西哥的其他大学。 它还设想，移动自组网的形成可以是一个催化剂的综合电子制造业在美国西南部和北方墨西哥的发展，从而给两国带来经济利益。 一旦该网络在制造业研究项目中建立起来，将很自然地将其扩展到其他技术领域和行业。 项目活动包括：（1）访问实验室设备和学生支持，以实现大学之间的远程连接（TAMU），以及（2）提供访问2D和3D灵活的检测系统和学生支持，以实现大学之间的远程连接（ASU）。

This grant is a one year NSF/CONACyT collaborative research award to design, develop and form a network of US and Mexican universities working on research and educational projects in the area of electronics manufacturing. The objective is to advance scientific and engineering knowledge through joint research efforts of investigators from the United States and Mexico having complementary talents and interests taking advantage of Network infrastructures. The collaborating universities are: Arizona State University, Texas A&M University, and Universidad de Guadalajara). Emphasis will be on the establishment of a MANufacturing NETwork (MANET). It is expected that the proposed network will serve as a model to be extended later to other universities in both the United States and Mexico. It is also envisioned that the formation of MANET can be a catalyst for development of an integrated electronics manufacturing industry in the Southwest US and Northern Mexico, with consequent economic benefits to both countries. Once the network is well established in manufacturing research projects, it will be natural to extend it to other technological areas and industries. The project activities include: (1) access to laboratory equipment and student support to implement remote connection among the universities (TAMU), and (2) provide access to 2D and 3D flexible inspection systems and student support to implement the remote connection among the universities (ASU).
