Student Support: 2013 Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC) and 41st North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC); Madison, Wisconsin; 10-14 June 2013

该奖项的目的是为83名本科生和研究生提供资金，以抵消注册和差旅费用，使他们能够参加2013年美国机械工程师协会国际制造科学与工程会议(ASME MSEC)和北美制造工程师协会(SME NAMRC)的联合会议。参加会议的学生将通过发表技术论文、参与展示他们的研究成果的海报环节以及参加设计竞赛来参与会议。会议将于2013年6月10日至13日在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校举行。资助机会将广泛公布，让学生有充足的通知和时间申请。委员会将审核申请，每名获奖学生将获得300美元的资助。参加这次会议的学生将有机会看到各自领域的最新研究成果，并直接与调查人员交谈。这将使他们对制造业有一个更好的视角，并为完成论文研究做好更好的准备。会议还有一个国际化的方面，使学生变得更加面向国际。从长远来看，对国家的好处将包括受过更好教育的制造业工程劳动力。

The purpose of this award is to provide funding offsetting registration and travel expenses to enable 83 undergraduate and graduate students to attend the 2013 joint conference of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (ASME MSEC) and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers North American Manufacturing Research Conference (SME NAMRC). 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 10-13, 2013, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The funding opportunity will be broadly announced, affording students ample notice and time to apply. Applications will be reviewed by committee, and $300 in support will be provided to each winning student.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.
