Student Support: 2014 Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC) and 42nd North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC); Ann Arbor, MI; 09-13 June 2014

这笔资金用于抵消注册和差旅费用，使83名本科生和研究生能够参加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2014年6月9日至12日在密歇根州底特律举行，由密歇根大学安娜堡分校主办。资助机会将广泛公布，让学生有充足的通知和时间申请。申请将由委员会审查，他提供的支持将支付300美元的学生注册费。如果没有足够的被接受的申请来奖励所有的资金，余额将以部分旅费报销的形式奖励给被接受的学生。这项支持将为83名被选中的学生提供参加在美国举行的卓越制造业研究会议的机会。学生参加全国性制造业会议对于扩大美国制造业研究基地至关重要。学生获得独特的体验和与学术和行业研究人员的互动，并受到展示自己工作的机会的激励。参加会议也让他们有机会了解各自领域的最新研究成果，并探索对新的制造业领域的兴趣。此外，接触其他人的研究有助于灌输对科学方法的良好基础理解，这将在他们的职业生涯中很好地服务于他们。

This grant provides funding for 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 9-12, 2014, in Detroit, Michigan, hosted by the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. The funding opportunity will be broadly announced, affording students ample notice and time to apply. Applications will be reviewed by committee, and he support provided will cover the student registration fee of $300. If there are not enough accepted applications to award all of the funds, the balance will be awarded to the accepted students in the form of a partial travel reimbursement. The support will provide 83 selected students with the opportunity to participate in the preeminent manufacturing research conference in the US. Student participation at national manufacturing conferences is crucial to expanding the manufacturing research base in the US. Students obtain unique experiences and interactions with academic and industry researchers, and are motivated by the opportunity to present their own work. Participation at conference also gives them the opportunity to learn about the latest research results in their area, and to explore interest in new areas of manufacturing. Additionally, exposure to research from others helps to instill a good foundational understanding of the scientific method, which will serve them well throughout their careers.
