Student Travel Grant - 2006 American Control Conference

摘要本项目资助学生参加将于2006年6月14-16日在美国明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市举行的2006年美国控制会议。美国控制会议是世界上最有声望的控制会议之一，预计将有2000多名科学家、学生和实践工程师参加。该项目的智力价值在于，它将使美国学生能够参加由系统和控制领域的大多数世界领导人参加的高质量技术会议。通过1000多份研究报告、众多技术研讨会、全体讲座、由领导人就许多重要的特殊问题进行小组讨论和行业展览，ACC 2006将使学生接触到系统和控制领域最新的研究和技术领域。会议为学生提供了一个独特的机会，向他们的同行和知名研究人员展示他们的工作。会议为寻求扩大教育机会的学生和即将毕业的学生在工业、学术界和政府实验室寻找工作提供了特别的活动。该项目更广泛的影响是，它将有助于培训下一代控制研究人员和工程师。控制系统无处不在；它们可以在自动化制造系统、汽车、飞机、炼油厂、发电厂、电网、互联网、通信、化学过程、民用基础设施和纳米技术等不同领域找到。随着现代社会工程设备的广泛使用，传感器和控制技术在使用低成本传感器和执行器的工程设备的先进性和现代化方面发挥着越来越大的作用。控制技术是美国工业的关键领域，美国未来的技术优势和安全取决于保持一批训练有素的科学家和工程师。该项目资助的学生将成为未来控制技术的领导者。强烈鼓励妇女、少数民族和残疾学生等代表性不足的群体参与。

AbstractThe project provides funds for student travel to the 2006 American Control Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, to be held from June 14-16, 2006. The American Control Conference is one of the prestigious control conferences in the world with an expected level of participation of over 2000 scientists, students, and practicing engineers. The intellectual merit of the project is that it will enable US students to participate in a high quality, technical conference that is attended by most of the world leaders in the systems and control area. With over 1000 research presentations, numerous technical workshops, plenary lectures, group panel discussions by leaders on numerous special issues of importance, and industry exhibits, ACC 2006 will expose the students to the state-of-the-art and emerging areas of research and technology in the systems and control area. The conference provides a unique opportunity for students to present their work to their peers and renowned researchers. The conference provides special activities for students seeking to expand educational opportunities and for those nearing graduation to seek employment in industry, academia, and government labs. The broader impact of the project is that it will assist in training next generation of control researchers and engineers. Control systems are ubiquitous; they can be found in such diverse areas as automated manufacturing systems, automobiles, airplanes, refineries, power plants, electrical power grid, Internet, communication, chemical processes, civil infrastructures, and nanotechnology. With the wide spread use of engineering devices in the modern society, sensor and control technology is playing an ever increasing role in the advancement and modernization of these devices using low-cost sensors and actuators. Control technology is a critical area for the US industry, the future technological edge and security of the United States depends on keeping a pool of trained scientists and engineers. The students funded under this project will be future leaders of control technology. Participation from underrepresented groups such as women, minorities, and disabled students is strongly encouraged.
