This three-year award allows the US PI to support 15 graduate and undergraduate students, including minority students from participating institutions, to work at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) in Spain. Five students per year will work in Spain for a period of six weeks. The foreign counterpart is Jose Torralba of the Material Science and Engineering Department. This summer research program will serve as a bridge for research and academic cooperation between the PI's Center for Innovative Sintered Products (CISP) at Pennsylvania State University and UC3M. The students will undertake advanced research training on the processing realities of press and sinter nanoscale particles.The student visits and the collaborative research between the two organizations are expected to result in the extension of designer materials to very small scales that would enable the production of small, hard, and tough microminiature devices. Such new and improved materials and processes will play an increasing role in improving energy efficiency, promoting environmental protection ensuring security, developing new and improved health-care systems, creating an information infrastructure, and providing modern and reliable transportation and civil infrastructure systems.The program will help develop a cadre of engineers with international exposure by strengthening their communication skills, networking connections, and awareness of new research methods. This program will help develop the professional skills of future engineers that will enable them to compete effectively in a global economy.

这项为期三年的奖项允许美国PI支持15名研究生和本科生在西班牙的卡洛斯三世马德里大学(UC3M)工作，其中包括来自参与机构的少数族裔学生。每年有五名学生将在西班牙工作六周。外国同行是材料科学和工程部的何塞·托拉尔巴。这个暑期研究项目将成为宾夕法尼亚州立大学PI的创新烧结产品中心(CISP)和UC3M之间研究和学术合作的桥梁。学生们将接受关于压制和烧结纳米颗粒的加工现实的高级研究培训。学生的访问和两个组织之间的合作研究预计将导致设计者材料扩展到非常小的规模，从而能够生产出小的、硬的和坚韧的微型设备。这些新的和改进的材料和工艺将在提高能源效率、促进环境保护、确保安全、开发新的和改进的医疗保健系统、创建信息基础设施以及提供现代可靠的交通和民用基础设施系统方面发挥越来越大的作用。该计划将通过加强沟通技能、网络联系和对新研究方法的认识，帮助培养一支具有国际影响力的工程师队伍。该项目将帮助培养未来工程师的专业技能，使他们能够有效地在全球经济中竞争。
