Student Travel Grant: 2003 American Control Conference

智力价值：这个项目的目的是为工程专业的学生提供经济援助，帮助他们参加由美国自动控制委员会主办的2003年美国控制会议(ACC2003)。会议的焦点将集中在控制研究和开发领域的理论问题、工程方法和工业应用上。这个项目的主要目标是让学生接触到控制理论和应用的最新进展。作为一项新倡议的一部分，PI将为ACC2002组织面向学生的会议，以帮助这些未来的专业工程师为他们的职业生涯做准备。对学生与会者的旅行支持，以ACC2003学生旅行补助金的形式，将在全国范围内进行宣传。将特别鼓励女性、少数族裔和残疾学生申请。拟议活动产生的广泛影响：参加会议并参加面向学生的活动的研究生可能会竞争控制理论及其应用领域的职业生涯。

Intellectual Merit: The purpose of this project is to provide financial assistance toengineering students to attend the 2003 American Control Conference (ACC 2003),sponsored by the American Automatic Control Council. The focus of the conference willcenter on theoretical issues, engineering methodologies, and industrial applications in allareas of control research and development.The primary goal of this project is to expose students to current advances in controltheory and applications. As part of a new initiative, the PI will organize student-orientedsessions for ACC 2002 to help these future professional engineers prepare for theircareers. Travel support for student attendees, in the form of ACC 2003 Student TravelGrants, will be advertised nationally. Women, minorities, and disabled students will beespecially encouraged to apply.Broader Impacts resulting from the Proposed Activity: Graduate students whoattend the conference and participate in the student-oriented activities are likely topursue careers in the field of control theory and its applications.
