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).

这项针对学生（IRES）项目的国际研究经验使本科生在墨西哥进行了一项密集的六周研究计划，其总体目标是在国际新兴的工程领域中提高学生的研究技能和文化素养。在博士的心态下。 Neale Smith和Beatriz MurrietaCortés的Tecnológicoy de Estudios Exporeses de Monterrey（ITESM），每年六名美国学生将调查卫生保健，航空业制造环境以及模型间以及模型和模型和仓库的医疗保健识别（RFID）应用。特定的研究主题包括医院环境中的安全性和库存控制，航空制造设施中供应链的实时调整，以及跟踪从供应商到Multistep Transport Systems中从供应商到客户的交付。学生还将参与旅行前和现场方向，这是一个研究方法的半手，着眼于六sigma（DFSS-R）方法的设计，研究生学生发展秘书以及口头和书面演示文稿。西班牙语的指示和文化活动也将是该计划不可或缺的一部分。这项国际研究合作将内布拉斯加州林肯大学（UNL）和ITESM的研究人员以及诸如Sanjosé，Bombardier和Werner Global Logistics等行业合作伙伴以及ITESM汇集在一起​​。 UNL将招募一组潜水员的本科生参与，并以妇女和代表性不足的少数群体代表。经验的结果将由教育会议，年度报告和计划网站的学生和教师分享。这种合作伙伴关系还将允许对对美国 - 墨西哥贸易具有重大实际影响的模型和创新进行进一步的测试。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）和刺激竞争研究（EPSCOR）的实验计划共同资助。
