ECCS-0735922Leo Kempel, Michigan State UniversityThe intellectual merit of this project is to support student travel to the annual scholarly conference for antenna measurement professionals. The Antenna Measurements Techniques Association conference gathers together the leading international engineers and scientists engaged in electromagnetic measurements. At this meeting, professionals from around the world present their findings and educate others in the general area of electromagnetic measurements. The annual meeting, archival web-site, and quarterly peer-reviewed contribution to the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine are primary sources for electromagnetic measurement techniques. Participation by students at such events not only adds vitality to the meeting, it is an excellent learning experience for the students since they can meet leading researchers in their field, network with potential employers, and gain critical feedback from peers. In addition, the gathering of students from diverse backgrounds at such meetings, to compare notes and successes, is valuable in the development of early career professionals. Students supported by this travel grant will be reimbursed by Michigan State University subject to the availability of funds.The broader impact of this project it to enhance student participation at the conference with a special emphasis on encouraging attendance by women and under-represented minority undergraduate and graduate students. In addition to colleges in the vicinity of St. Louis (site of the 2007 meeting), invitations for student papers will be sent to Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-serving Institutions. The lack of sufficient highly-trained microwave measurement professionals may prove to be an impediment to greater wireless information innovations. Increasing student participation at such topical meetings is critical activity in ensuring the availability of well-trained professionals as well as serving to enhance the scholarly activity of the organization through collaborative experiences.

leo Kempel，密歇根州立大学这个项目的智力价值是支持学生参加天线测量专业人员的年度学术会议。天线测量技术协会会议聚集了从事电磁测量的国际领先工程师和科学家。在这次会议上，来自世界各地的专业人士展示了他们的发现，并在电磁测量的一般领域对其他人进行了教育。《IEEE天线与传播》杂志的年度会议、档案网站和季度同行评议贡献是电磁测量技术的主要来源。学生参加这样的活动不仅为会议增添了活力，对学生来说，这是一次极好的学习经历，因为他们可以见到各自领域的顶尖研究人员，与潜在的雇主建立联系，并从同龄人那里获得重要的反馈。此外，来自不同背景的学生聚集在这样的会议上，交换意见和成功经验，对早期职业专业人士的发展是有价值的。获得旅行补助的学生将由密歇根州立大学根据资金情况报销。该项目的更广泛影响是提高学生对会议的参与，特别强调鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族本科生和研究生参加会议。除了圣路易斯（2007年会议的地点）附近的大学外，学生论文的邀请将发送给历史上的黑人学院和大学以及少数民族服务机构。缺乏足够的训练有素的微波测量专业人员可能会成为更大的无线信息创新的障碍。增加学生对此类专题会议的参与是确保训练有素的专业人员的可用性以及通过合作经验增强组织的学术活动的关键活动。
