The Next Generation of Manufacturing Engineers Program for the Automotive Sector Program awards scholarships to mechanical and industrial engineering students at the bachelors, masters and doctoral levels who desire to prepare for careers in automotive manufacturing. A total of 29 scholarships per year for four years are awarded. Scholarships are awarded based on financial need and academic promise with attention to developing a diverse workforce of automotive engineers. The intellectual merit focuses on an interdisciplinary and vertically integrated approach, that is, approaching manufacturing from a total supply chain perspective that considers the vehicle from design through assembly to customer delivery. Broader impacts includes outreach to K-12 students and teachers, and energetic recruitment and retention of women and African-American undergraduate and graduate students. Student recruitment, support and mentoring are be provided by the BellSouth Minority Engineering Program and the local student chapters of the Society of Women Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers, the Institute of Industrial Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Society of Automotive Engineers. This project ensures a supply of well-trained engineers in the growing automotive industry in the Southeast and helps encourage further development of this industry within the region, which has historically been economically and educationally disadvantaged.

汽车行业计划的下一代制造工程师计划为希望为汽车制造业职业生涯做准备的学士，硕士和博士水平的机械和工业工程学生提供奖学金。每年共颁发29个奖学金，为期四年。奖学金是根据经济需要和学术承诺颁发的，注重发展多元化的汽车工程师队伍。知识价值集中在跨学科和垂直整合的方法上，即从整个供应链的角度来考虑车辆从设计到装配到客户交付的制造。更广泛的影响包括对K-12学生和教师的宣传，以及积极招聘和留住妇女和非洲裔美国本科生和研究生。学生招聘，支持和指导由贝尔南方少数民族工程计划和女性工程师协会，黑人工程师全国协会，工业工程师协会，美国机械工程师协会和汽车工程师协会的当地学生分会提供。该项目确保为东南部不断增长的汽车行业提供训练有素的工程师，并有助于鼓励该行业在该地区的进一步发展，该地区历史上一直处于经济和教育劣势。
