PI: Tony Jun Huang, Pennsylvania State UniversityProposal Number: CBET 1160568The proposed effort seeks NSF funding for student participation grants for the 2011 ASME Society-Wide Micro and Nano Technology Forum to be held during the ASME IMECE 2011 in Denver, Co. The proposed Forum will bring together ASME members and others, with a focus on new developments in the field of micro and nanotechnology. For the past three years the forum has been enthusiastically embraced by ASME IMECE attendees, in particular students; each year, there have been more than 150 poster presentations and about 300 attendees at the forum. The proposed NSF awards will be used to further nurture student development by encouraging participation from a select group of meritorious students working in the general area of micro-/nanoscale engineering by providing them partial travel grants including expenses related to conference registration fees and lodging. The travel awards will be decided by a panel of experts from the Micro and Nano Forum organizing committee, and will be based on the technical quality of the poster abstracts submitted and statement from their research advisors. In the past, the participating students at the ASME Micro and Nano Forum have greatly valued the opportunity given to them by the Forum to showcase their research, interact with their peers, and meet people outside of their immediate environment. Besides this, the Forum also provides opportunities to increase student exposure to cutting-edge research in the frontiers of micro and nano technologies, and increase student abilities with respect to tools that will make them competitive in a research environment, namely, team work and project management, oral and written technical communication skills, ethics, and overall research acumen. In addition, the students will get an opportunity to attend technical presentations (over 2000 presentations and posters are anticipated to be presented at IMECE 2011) relevant to their current research, and also in other mechanical engineering fields. This will expose them to solutions and challenges that may be relevant to their current projects, while at the same time provide opportunities to discover exciting new research activities to pursue in future. In this regards, the mission of the forum fits well with the mission of NSF (in particular the Engineering Directorate) in attracting young research talents and mentoring them for a career in science and engineering. Direct exposure of the participating students to leaders in their research fields (technical organizing committee members, judges, etc.) will provide them with a unique opportunity to disseminate their most recent research, and receive first-hand information on available opportunities for postdoctoral positions, as well as faculty positions. ASME traditionally hosts several Grand Challenge sessions where speakers from industry or government identify critical technical challenges facing the nation in various fields. In addition, ASME award lectures by prominent researchers, special sessions on ethics and the next-generation engineering education curriculum, and technical tours to local industry and national laboratories represent other opportunities for student learning and growth. Like in the past, personnel from NSF, DoD agencies, national laboratories, and industry are expected to have a strong presence at the conference. Members from these groups will be involved in providing professional development seminars, workshops, information sessions and recruitment activities, and will provide further new avenues for student development as well. While selecting students for the travel awards, every effort will be made to include and encourage student participation from both minority and traditionally underrepresented student groups in engineering.

主要研究者：Tony Jun Huang，宾夕法尼亚州立大学提案编号：CBET 1160568拟议的努力寻求NSF资助，用于学生参与将在丹佛举行的2011年ASME IMECA期间举行的2011年ASME全社会微型和纳米技术论坛的赠款金，公司拟议的论坛将汇集ASME成员和其他人，重点关注微型和纳米技术领域的新发展。在过去的三年里，该论坛一直受到ASME IMECE与会者，特别是学生的热烈欢迎;每年，论坛上都有150多个海报展示和约300名与会者。拟议的NSF奖项将用于进一步培养学生的发展，通过鼓励在微/纳米级工程的一般领域工作的优秀学生的参与，为他们提供部分旅费赠款包括与会议注册费和住宿有关的费用。旅行奖将由微米和纳米论坛组委会的专家小组决定，并将基于提交的海报摘要的技术质量和研究顾问的声明。在过去，参加ASME微米和纳米论坛的学生非常重视论坛给他们的机会，展示他们的研究，与同龄人互动，并满足他们的直接环境之外的人。 除此之外，该论坛还提供了机会，以增加学生接触到前沿的微和纳米技术的研究，并提高学生的能力方面的工具，这将使他们在研究环境中的竞争力，即团队合作和项目管理，口头和书面的技术沟通技巧，道德和整体研究敏锐度。此外，学生将有机会参加与他们目前的研究相关的技术演示（预计将在IMECE 2011上展示2000多个演示和海报），以及其他机械工程领域。这将使他们接触到可能与其当前项目相关的解决方案和挑战，同时提供机会发现令人兴奋的新研究活动，以便在未来继续进行。在这方面，论坛的使命与NSF（特别是工程理事会）的使命非常吻合，即吸引年轻的研究人才，并指导他们从事科学和工程事业。 参与学生直接接触他们研究领域的领导者（技术组委会成员，评委等）将为他们提供一个独特的机会，传播他们最新的研究，并获得第一手资料，提供博士后职位的机会，以及教师职位。ASME传统上举办了几个大挑战会议，来自行业或政府的演讲者确定了国家在各个领域面临的关键技术挑战。此外，杰出研究人员的ASME颁奖讲座，道德和下一代工程教育课程的特别会议，以及对当地工业和国家实验室的技术图尔斯之旅，为学生的学习和成长提供了其他机会。与过去一样，来自NSF、DoD机构、国家实验室和工业界的人员预计将在会议上有很强的代表性。来自这些团体的成员将参与提供专业发展研讨会，讲习班，信息会议和招聘活动，并将为学生发展提供进一步的新途径。 在选择学生的旅行奖，将尽一切努力，包括和鼓励学生参与少数民族和传统上代表性不足的学生群体在工程。
