The overarching objective of this project is to increase the participation of US students to advanced manufacturing research conferences. To address this objective, this award provides financial support to partially cover conference travel and registration to the 7th International Conference on MicroManufacturing (ICOMM'12) that will be held at Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois) 12-14 March 2012. The 7th ICOMM will focus on technical presentations and panel discussions on the processes, equipment, and systems for fabricating miniature parts with micro-scale features. The conference will address theoretical and applied research issues on manufacture, assembly, and metrology of components and systems with micro-scale features. The requested funds will fully cover the registration for up to 30 students from US institutions, and will provide partial support to cover their travel expenses. The intellectual merit of this project arises from the technical interactions of the US graduate students with the academic and industrial researchers, as well as with other graduate students working in the manufacturing field. Since many international researchers attend ICOMM traditionally, the US graduate student will be also exchanging ideas regarding global aspects of manufacturing science and technology. This is critical in providing a complete education and high-level perspective to the future industrial leaders and academicians the US students will become.Educating the next generation of industrial leaders and academicians is vital to the future of the manufacturing field. Indeed, the recently-announced Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP) initiative emphasizes the need for attracting and retaining the US students in the manufacturing field. The exchange of many new and innovative ideas during the ICOMM conference will address this goal directly, and will have a considerable impact to the future careers of the attending students, as well as to the future of manufacturing science and engineering.

该项目的总体目标是增加美国学生对先进制造研究会议的参与。为了实现这一目标，该奖项提供财政支持，以部分支付会议差旅费和注册的第七届国际会议微型制造（ICOMM'12），将在西北大学（埃文斯顿，伊利诺伊州）12-14三月2012。第七届ICOMM将专注于技术演示和小组讨论，讨论制造具有微尺度特征的微型零件的工艺，设备和系统。会议将讨论具有微尺度特征的组件和系统的制造，组装和计量的理论和应用研究问题。申请的资金将完全支付来自美国机构的最多30名学生的注册费用，并将提供部分支持以支付他们的旅费。 该项目的智力价值来自美国研究生与学术和工业研究人员以及在制造领域工作的其他研究生的技术互动。由于许多国际研究人员传统上参加ICOMM，美国研究生也将交流有关制造科学和技术的全球方面的想法。这对于为美国学生未来的工业领袖和学者提供完整的教育和高水平的视角至关重要。教育下一代工业领袖和学者对制造业的未来至关重要。事实上，最近宣布的先进制造业伙伴关系（AMP）计划强调了吸引和留住美国制造业学生的必要性。在ICOMM会议期间，许多新的和创新的想法的交流将直接解决这一目标，并将对与会学生的未来职业生涯以及制造科学和工程的未来产生相当大的影响。
