该奖项的目的是为在美国机构学习的学生提供部分支持，以参加将于2014年3月25日至28日在新加坡举行的第九届国际微制造会议。这是一个重要的全球微制造会议，每年吸引来自美国、欧洲和亚洲的大量研究人员和工程师参加。预计将有一百多篇涉及微制造和微工程相关主题的论文在会议上发表。出席会议的学生将通过提交他们撰写的技术论文来参加会议。资助机会将广泛公布，给学生充足的通知和时间申请。申请将由会议科学委员会审查。共有16名学生将获得该奖项的部分资助，这笔资金将用于抵消差旅费、会议注册费和住宿费。除了培养全球微制造的愿景外，参与的学生还将通过参加该领域领先的国际专家的技术演讲，了解微制造的最新研究进展和挑战。学生们还将有机会与来自世界各地工业和政府机构的顶尖研究人员和工程师交流思想，并有机会参观新加坡涉及微制造的公司和实验室。

The purpose of this award is to provide partial support to selected students studying in US institutions to participate in the 9th International Conference on Micro-Manufacturing to be held in Singapore, 25-28 March 2014. This is a premiere global conference on micro-manufacturing which draws large attendance of researchers and engineers each year from America, Europe, and Asia. Over one hundred papers covering a wide range of topics pertinent to micro-manufacturing and micro-engineering are expected to be presented at the conference. The attending students will participate in the conference by presenting technical papers they have authored. The funding opportunity will be broadly announced giving students ample notice and time to apply. Applications will be reviewed by the conference scientific committee. A total of sixteen students will be partially supported from this award which will help offset expenses for travel, conference registration, and lodging.In addition to nurturing a global micro-manufacturing vision, participating students will learn about the latest research progress and challenges in micro-manufacturing by attending technical presentations by leading international experts in the field. The students will also have opportunities to exchange ideas with leading researchers and engineers from worldwide industrial and governmental facilities, as well as the opportunity to visit companies and laboratories involved with micro-manufacturing in Singapore.
