Conference: Student Paper Competition at the 2004 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium to be held in Ft. Worth, TX on June 6-11, 2004.

0417477戈德史密斯该提案要求美国大学的16名学生在2004年国际微波研讨会(IMS)的学生论文竞赛中获得旅行资助。IMS是美国电气电子工程师学会微波理论与技术学会(MTT·S)的年度会议。IMS也是微波领域的主要国际会议，也是无线通信研究成果的焦点。2004年，IMS将在福特堡举行。美国得克萨斯州沃斯，6月6日至6月11日学生论文竞赛每年，MTT-S通过一系列机制促进学生在微波领域的教育和研究。例如，它赞助了一项竞争激烈、享有盛誉的研究生奖学金计划，根据该计划，几名全日制研究生获得了微波教育和研究方面的资助。然而，该协会对学生最广泛的接触是IMS一年一度的学生论文比赛。该课程向任何在IMS上发表的论文的主要作者和主要作者的全日制学生(通常是，但不一定是研究生)开放。这个精挑细选的项目将世界上最好的学生聚集在一个综合项目中，在这个项目中，他们不仅向技术观众展示他们的作品，还向一群评委展示他们的作品。该项目有助于培养学生的技术敏锐性和沟通能力。它还将他们介绍给国际技术界，并帮助建立一个学生社区，这些学生将领导下一代微波专业人员。IMS提供各种形式的财政支持，但不报销旅费。来自美国国家科学基金会的旅行支持将确保该项目向来自美国大学的大量感兴趣的申请者开放。

0417477GoldsmithThis proposal requests travel support for 16 students from U.S. universities in the Student Paper Competition at the 2004 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 conference in the microwave field and a focus of research results in wireless communications. In 2004, the IMS will be held in Ft. Worth, Texas, USA from June 6 to June 11.Student Paper CompetitionEach year, the MTT-S promotes student education and research in microwave through a number of mechanisms. For instance, it sponsors a highly competitive and prestigious Graduate Fellowship program under which several full-time graduate students are sponsored for education and research in microwave. However, the Society's broadest outreach to students is the annual Student Paper Competition at the IMS. This program is open to any full-time student (typically, although not necessarily, a graduate student) who is the lead and principal author of a paper presented at the IMS. The selective program brings the world's best students 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 students' technical acumen as well as their communication skills. It also introduces them to the international technical community and helps to build a community of students who will lead the next generation of microwave professionals.The IMS provides financial support of various forms but does not reimburse travelexpenses. Travel support from NSF will ensure that the program is open to the widestrange of interested applicants from U.S. universities.
