This award will establish a new Engineering Project Center in Wuhan, China to provide international research experiences for up to 30 U.S. undergraduates in mechanical engineering to complete an international design and manufacturing operations project during their senior year. Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) faculty and undergraduates will form project-based teams pairing undergraduates and faculty from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in Wuhan, China. Under the joint guidance of WPI and HUST faculty, U.S. and Chinese student teams will address "real-world" technical engineering challenges in areas such as lean manufacturing implementation, automated packaging devices design and optimization for supplier-based manufacturing, among others. Students from both sides will undergo cultural and language preparation, and conduct preliminary analyses prior to departing WPI for Wuhan for 8-week experiences in China addressing public and private sector manufacturing problems.

该奖项将在中国武汉建立一个新的工程项目中心，为30名机械工程专业的美国本科生提供国际研究经验，帮助他们在大四期间完成一个国际设计和制造运营项目。伍斯特理工学院（WPI）的教师和本科生将组成基于项目的团队，将来自中国武汉华中科技大学（HUST）的本科生和教师配对。在WPI和HUST教师的共同指导下，美国和中国学生团队将解决“现实世界”的技术工程挑战，如精益制造实施、自动化包装设备设计和基于供应商的制造优化等。双方的学生将进行文化和语言准备，并在离开WPI前往武汉之前进行初步分析，在中国进行为期8周的经验，解决公共和私营部门的制造问题。
