Conference: Increasing Participation of U.S. Students to the 9th International Conference on Micro-Manufacturing (ICOMM 2014); Singapore, 25-28 March 2014

该奖项的目的是为在美国机构学习的选定学生提供部分支持，以参加将于2014年3月25日至28日在新加坡举行的第九届微型制造国际会议。这是一个关于微型制造的全球性会议，每年吸引来自美洲，欧洲和亚洲的大量研究人员和工程师参加。预计将在会议上提交100多篇论文，涵盖与微型制造和微型工程有关的广泛主题。与会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，让学生有足够的通知和时间申请。申请将由会议科学委员会审查。该奖项将部分资助16名学生，以帮助抵消差旅费、会议注册费和住宿费。除了培养全球微型制造愿景外，参与学生还将通过参加该领域国际领先专家的技术演示来了解微型制造的最新研究进展和挑战。学生还将有机会与来自世界各地的工业和政府机构的领先研究人员和工程师交流思想，并有机会参观新加坡涉及微型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.
