This grant provides funds to organize the 2011 Technical Conference for the Society of Engineering Science (SES). The conference will take place on October 12-14, 2011 at the Norris Center at Northwestern University. The SES conference facilitates the free exchange of information on all aspects of engineering science and provides a forum for discussion, education, and recognition of the talents of the engineering science community. The SES conference promotes the development and strengthening of the interfaces between various disciplines in engineering, sciences, and mathematics. Consistent with the SES mission, the 2011 SES Technical Conference will actively seek the participation of groups underrepresented in science and engineering (e.g., underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities). This will be achieved by (1) targeting historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) around the country, (2) encouraging faculty members to identify promising undergraduate students with an interest in pursuing graduate studies and (3) providing travel assistance to undergraduate and graduate students, particularly those of underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities. The funds requested are for this purpose.

该补助金为工程科学学会（SES）组织2011年技术会议提供资金。 会议将于2011年10月12日至14日在西北大学诺里斯中心举行。 SES会议促进了工程科学各方面信息的自由交流，并提供了一个讨论、教育和认可工程科学界人才的论坛。 SES会议促进工程，科学和数学各学科之间的接口的发展和加强。 与SES的使命一致，2011年SES技术会议将积极寻求在科学和工程领域代表性不足的团体的参与（例如，代表性不足的少数群体、妇女和残疾人）。 这将通过以下方式实现：（1）针对全国各地历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCU），（2）鼓励教职员工确定有兴趣攻读研究生的有前途的本科生，以及（3）为本科生和研究生提供旅行援助，特别是那些代表性不足的少数民族，妇女和残疾人。 所要求的资金就是用于这一目的。
