This International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) projects engages undergraduate students in an intensive six-week research program in Mexico, with the overarching goal of enhancing students' research skills and cultural literacy in an internationally emerging field of engineering. Under the mentorship of Drs. Neale Smith and Beatriz Murrieta Cortés of the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM), six U.S. students per year will investigate radio-frequency identification (RFID) applications in health care, aerospace manufacturing environments, and inter-modal and warehousing logistics. Specific research themes include security and inventory control in hospital settings, real-time adjustments of the supply chain in aerospace manufacturing facilities, and tracking the delivery of products from supplier to customer in multistep transportation systems. Students will also be involved in pre-trip and on-site orientations, a research methods seminar focusing on the Design for Six Sigma (DFSS-R) approach, graduate student development seminars, and oral and written presentations. Spanish language instruction and cultural activities will also be an integral part of the program.This international research collaboration brings together researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and ITESM, along with industry partners such as the Hospital San José, Bombardier, and Werner Global Logistics. UNL will recruit a diverse group of undergraduate students to participate, with strong representation of women and underrepresented minorities. Results from the experience will be shared by students and faculty at educational conferences, through annual reports, and the program website. This partnership will also allow the further testing of models and innovations that have significant practical implications for U.S. - Mexico trade.This award is co-funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) and the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).

这个国际学生研究经验（IRES）项目让本科生在墨西哥进行为期六周的密集研究计划，其总体目标是提高学生在国际新兴工程领域的研究技能和文化素养。在博士的指导下。蒙特雷高等研究学院（ITESM）的Neale Smith和Beatriz Murrieta cort<s:1>，六名美国学生每年将研究射频识别（RFID）在医疗保健、航空航天制造环境、多式联运和仓储物流中的应用。具体的研究主题包括医院环境中的安全和库存控制，航空制造设施中供应链的实时调整，以及在多步运输系统中跟踪从供应商到客户的产品交付。学生们还将参加旅行前和现场指导、以六西格玛设计（DFSS-R）方法为重点的研究方法研讨会、研究生发展研讨会以及口头和书面报告。西班牙语教学和文化活动也将是该计划的一个组成部分。这项国际研究合作汇集了内布拉斯加大学林肯分校（UNL）和ITESM的研究人员，以及圣何塞医院、庞巴迪和沃纳全球物流等行业合作伙伴。联合国大学将招收不同群体的本科生参加，其中妇女和代表性不足的少数民族占很大比例。学生和教师将通过年度报告和项目网站在教育会议上分享经验的成果。这种伙伴关系还将允许进一步测试对美墨贸易具有重大实际意义的模式和创新。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）和刺激竞争性研究实验计划（EPSCoR）共同资助。
