Proposal to Support Student Attendance at Stony Brook Modeling Week

该奖项的研究目标是支持20名来自美国的研究生参加2008年6月2日至6日在纽约州立大学石溪分校举行的石溪模特周。在Stony Brook建模周期间，将连续举办两场享有盛誉的研讨会，分别是年度ACM实体与物理建模研讨会和年度IEEE国际形状建模与应用会议。此外，将举行为期一天的研讨会，题为“形状，固体和物理建模的新研究前沿”。获得资助的学生将有机会参加整个星期的会议。如果成功，这项研究的结果将使选定的研究生接触到形状、固体和物理建模领域的当前国际研究。获资助的研究生将有极好的机会与国际知名专家互动，从各种演讲中获得知识，进入工程设计行业，并与学术界和工业界人士建立联系，以获得更好的职业安置。这个项目将对我国研究生项目的研究和教育产生重大影响，特别是在工程和计算课程方面。

The research objective of this award is to support twenty graduate students from the U.S. to attend Stony Brook Modeling Week to be held at the State University of New York at Stony Brook during the week of June 2-6, 2008. During the Stony Brook Modeling Week, two prestigious symposia will be held consecutively, namely, the annual ACM Solid and Physical Modeling Symposium and the annual IEEE International Conference on Shape Modeling and Applications. In addition, a one day workshop entitled New Research Frontiers in Shape, Solid, and Physical Modeling will be held. Students selected for support from this grant will be given the opportunity to attend the entire week of conferences.If successful, the results of this research will be to expose selected graduate students to current international research in the area of shape, solid, and physical modeling. Graduate students supported by this grant will have a superb opportunity to interact with internationally renowned experts, gain knowledge from various presentations, access engineering design industry, and network with people from academia and industry towards better career placement. This project will lead to significant impacts in both research and education for our nation's graduate program, especially in engineering and computational curricula.
