Proposal to Establish an Industrial Research Opportunities Program

提案：0946373PI姓名：Frank L. Huband“该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。”美国经济正面临着巨大的挑战，创造能够产生重大科技创新的就业机会，为企业增长创造新的机会，对未来的经济复苏至关重要。鉴于这个国家今天面临的挑战，迫切需要用科学技术来改造经济。研究方面的挑战包括能源独立、气候控制以及为我们经济的成功和持续复苏开发可信的经济模式。让科学家和工程师寻找下一个伟大的发现，在尖端技术领域创造就业机会，并做出明智的投资，这将有助于行业在全球经济中取得成功，这一点非常重要。最重要的是在刺激创新和发明的环境中为下一代技术领导者提供工业研发机会。美国工程教育学会（ASEE）提议建立一个工业博士后研究项目，为40名新近获得博士学位的学生提供在工业环境中进行研究的机会。这个试点项目将是联邦政府和各种工业赞助商之间的合作伙伴关系。对这一活动表示强烈支持和支持的公司包括：安捷伦、欧特克、波音、陶氏化学公司、法拉第科技、惠普实验室、IBM研究院、英特尔公司、MathWorks、诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司和SAP实验室。工业研究机会计划旨在鼓励有创造力和训练有素的工程师在我们面临当前经济挑战的国家感兴趣和相关领域的参与。随着美国领导层更加关注学术研究和发展努力的潜在贡献，以提高美国工业的竞争力，该计划将提供一种机制，以促进学术研究向企业部门的技术转移。美国经济正面临巨大挑战，刺激商业增长和创造就业机会是帮助经济复苏不可或缺的一部分。美国必须在尖端技术领域创造就业机会，并进行关键投资，以应对当今的研究挑战。培养新一代技术领袖对于提高美国在全球经济中的竞争力是不可或缺的。因此，为有前途的科学家和工程师提供适当的研究环境，并支持和激励他们追求下一个伟大的发现是至关重要的。ASEE的工业研究机会计划将促进技术和科学创新，并帮助确保工业在全球经济中的成功。

Proposal: 0946373PI Name: Frank L. Huband"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."The U.S. economy is facing enormous challenges, creating jobs that will produce significant technological and scientific innovation and create new opportunities for business growth is of utmost importance for future economic recovery. Given the challenges that the country faces today, there is an urgent need to transform the economy with science and technology. Research challenges include energy independence, climate control and the development of credible economic models for a successful and sustained recovery of our economy. It is very important to have scientists and engineering looking for the next great discovery, creating jobs in cutting-edge technologies and making informed investments that will help industries succeed in a global economy. Of primary importance is the development of industrial R&D opportunities for the next generation of technology leaders in an environment that will stimulate innovation and invention.The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) proposes to establish an Industrial Postdoctoral Research Program that will provide forty recent PhD's the opportunity to conduct research in an industrial setting. This pilot program would be a partnership between the federal government and various industrial sponsors. Companies that have expressed a strong endorsement and support for this activity include the following: Agilent, Autodesk, Boeing, The Dow Chemical Company, Faraday Technology, Hewlett Packard Laboratories, IBM Research, Intel Corporation, MathWorks, Northrop Grumman, and SAP Lab. The Industrial Research Opportunities Program will aim to encourage the involvement of creative and highly trained engineers in areas of great interest and relevance to the nation as we face current economic challenges. With the U.S. leadership focusing more on the potential contributions of academic research and development efforts to enhance the competitiveness of the U.S. industries, this program will provide a mechanism to facilitate the technology transfer of academic research to the corporate sector.The U.S. economy is facing great challenges and stimulating business growth and creating jobs is integral to aiding economic recovery. The U.S. must create jobs in cutting edge technologies and make key investments to respond to the research challenges of today. Training a new generation of technology leaders is integral to increasing the U.S. competitiveness in the global economy. Therefore, it is critical to provide promising scientists and engineers with appropriate research settings, and to support and motivate their pursuit of the next great discoveries. ASEE's Industrial Research Opportunities Program will contribute to technological and scientific innovation and help ensure industry success in the global economy.
