This effort provides support for student attendance, student networking and student mentoring activities for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) conference on Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures and Intelligent Systems (SMASIS). Adaptive structures and materials systems by definition are intelligent, flexible systems that have sentience and responsiveness to ever changing environments. The field has rapidly matured due to synergistic interdisciplinary efforts across sectors of universities, government and industry. The purpose of the SMASIS conference is to assemble world experts across engineering and scientific disciplines (mechanical, aerospace, electrical, materials, and civil engineering, biology, physics chemistry, etc) to actively discuss the latest breakthroughs in smart materials, the cutting edge in adaptive structure applications and the recent advances in both new device technologies and basic engineering research exploration. Support from the NSF will promote student participation at the conference to activities that foster technical and intellectual exchange include a student hardware design competition and a student paper competition as well as activities to develop a network of peers and mentors for students that include a student mentoring luncheon and a student outing.The outreach program is designed to engage students who might not otherwise be familiar with smart materials or adaptive structures from local high schools, HBCU's and/or community colleges. The specific goals are to 1) foster technical and intellectual exchange among students who are excited about prospects for research on smart materials and adaptive systems, 2) instill in its participants the sense of a technical community of student peers with a common enthusiasm for research and this technical field and of possible mentors for contact as they develop their own career paths in this field, 3) increase participation of underrepresented students in this professional development activity, and 4) increase participant awareness of the broad range of ideas and topics being studied within this field.

这项工作为美国机械工程师学会（ASME）智能材料、自适应结构和智能系统（SMASIS）会议的学生出勤率、学生网络和学生辅导活动提供了支持。自适应结构和材料系统是智能的、灵活的系统，对不断变化的环境具有感知和响应能力。由于大学、政府和工业部门的跨学科协同努力，该领域迅速成熟。SMASIS会议的目的是聚集世界各地的工程和科学学科（机械，航空航天，电气，材料，土木工程，生物，物理化学等）的专家，积极讨论智能材料的最新突破，自适应结构应用的前沿以及新器件技术和基础工程研究探索的最新进展。来自NSF的支持将促进学生参与会议的活动，促进技术和智力交流，包括学生硬件设计比赛和学生论文比赛，以及为学生建立同龄人和导师网络的活动，包括学生指导午餐和学生郊游。从当地高中，HBCU的和/或社区学院的适应性结构。具体目标是：1）促进对智能材料和自适应系统研究前景感到兴奋的学生之间的技术和知识交流，2）向参与者灌输学生同行的技术社区意识，这些学生对研究和这一技术领域具有共同的热情，并在他们发展自己在这一领域的职业道路时可能有导师联系，3）增加代表性不足的学生参与这一专业发展活动，以及4）增加参与者对这一领域正在研究的广泛思想和主题的认识。
