This grant will to provide support for student attendance, student networking and student mentoring activities for the first three years of the new American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) conference on Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures and Intelligent Systems (SMASIS). The objectives to be achieved through the use of support from the NSF will be 1) to promote student participation at the conference by encouraging participation of students from underrepresented communities, 2) to foster technical and intellectual exchange among student attendees; and 3) to develop a network of peers and mentors for current students who have a common interest in advancing the field of smart materials and adaptive structures. Activities to achieve objective 1 will include direct contact with student engineering groups at HBCUs and community college campuses that are located close to the conference venue each year and encouraging student attendance by covering student registration fees. Activities to achieve objective 2 will be a field trip for all student attendees to a venue near the conference such as a science center during which student networking will be facilitated. Activities to achieve objective 3 will include program activities to ensure students interact with leading professionals from industry, government and academia. The intellectual merit of the proposed activities lies in providing a forum to rigorously engage students as a community of peers in technical exchange about smart materials and adaptive structures. The broader impact of the proposed activities includes promoting participation in this technical subject matter of students from HBCUs and Community colleges, and in enriching student opportunities for mentoring and networking

这项拨款意愿为新美国机械工程师学会（ASME）智能材料，适应性结构和智能系统（SMASIS）的新美国机械工程师会议（ASME）会议的前三年提供支持的学生出勤，学生网络和学生指导活动。通过使用NSF的支持将实现的目标是1）通过鼓励来自代表性不足的社区的学生的参与，2）促进学生参加会议的学生参与，2）在学生参与者之间培养技术和知识交流； 3）为在智能材料和自适应结构领域具有共同兴趣的现任学生建立一个同龄人和导师网络。实现目标1的活动将包括与HBCUS和社区大学校园的学生工程小组的直接联系，这些校园每年都在会议场地附近，并通过支付学生注册费来鼓励学生参加。实现目标2的活动将是所有学生参与者访问会议附近场所的实地考察，例如科学中心，在该中心将在该会议中促进学生网络。 实现目标3的活动将包括计划活动，以确保学生与行业，政府和学术界的领先专业人员互动。 拟议活动的智力优点在于提供一个论坛，以严格地吸引学生作为同龄人社区，以了解有关智能材料和自适应结构的技术交流。 拟议活动的更广泛的影响包括促进HBCU和社区大学的学生参与这一技术主题，并丰富学生的指导和网络机会
