Student Travel Grant Program for the 2009 ASME Dynamc Systems and Control Conference, held October 11-14, 2009 in Los Angeles, CA

该项目为参加2009年10月12日至14日在美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶举行的2009年动力系统与控制会议的学生提供旅费。DSCC是ASME动力系统与控制部门在年度IMECE会议之外举行的第二次会议，预计将有400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领导者参加的高质量、同行评议的技术会议。2009年DSCC将向学生展示系统和控制领域最新的研究和技术领域，包括200多份研究报告、众多技术研讨会、全体会议演讲和由领导人就许多重要的特殊问题进行小组讨论。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，控制技术在这些设备的先进性和现代化中发挥着越来越大的作用，这些设备采用低成本的传感器和执行器。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。

The project provides funds for student travel to the 2009 Dynamic Systems and Control Conference in Los Angeles, CA, USA, to be held from October 12-14, 2009. The DSCC is the second conference to be held by the Dynamic Systems and Control division of ASME separate from the annual IMECE conference with an expected level of participation of over 400 scientists, students, and practicing engineers. The intellectual merit of the project is that it will enable US students to participate in a high quality, peer-reviewed technical conference that is attended by leaders in the systems and control area. With over 200 research presentations, numerous technical workshops, plenary lectures, and group panel discussions by leaders on numerous special issues of importance 2009 DSCC 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 the 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, 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.
