Student Participation Grant for National Manufacturing Conferences: 2012 ASME MSEC and SME NAMRC 40; University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana; June 4-8, 2012

该奖项旨在资助83名本科生和研究生参加2012年美国机械工程师学会国际制造科学与工程会议和制造工程师学会北美制造研究会议的联合会议。参加会议的学生将通过发表技术论文，参加海报会议以展示他们的研究成果，并参加设计比赛来参加会议。会议将于2012年6月4日至8日在印第安纳州南本德的圣母大学举行。参加本次会议的学生将有机会看到各自领域的最新成果，并与研究人员直接交谈。这既能让他们更好地了解制造业的世界，也能让他们更好地完成论文研究。会议也有一个国际化的方面，使学生们更加国际化。从长远来看，对国家的好处将包括受过更好教育的制造工程劳动力。

The purpose of this award is to provide funding to enable 83 undergraduate and graduate students to attend the 2012 joint conference of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers North American Manufacturing Research Conference. The attending students will participate in the conference by giving technical papers, participating in a poster session to display their research, and taking part in a design competition. The conference will be held June 4-8, 2012, at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.The students who attend this conference will have a chance to see the latest work in their respective fields and to talk to the investigators directly. This will both give them a better perspective on the world of manufacturing and better prepare them to complete their thesis research. There is also an international aspect to the conference, enabling the students to become more internationally oriented. The benefits to the nation in the long term will include a better educated manufacturing engineering workforce.
