Student Travel Support for 2012-2014 ASME Student Mechanism and Robot Design Competitions

该奖项为参加2012年，2013年和2014年ASME学生机械设计竞赛决赛的学生（本科生和研究生）提供旅行资金。该竞赛在机械和机器人会议上展出，该会议是ASME国际设计工程技术会议（IDETC）和计算机与信息工程会议（CIE）的一部分。ASME IDETC/CIE是设计工程和工程计算机与信息领域的主要国际会议。该活动旨在展示前沿研究和成就，并丰富这些领域的教育经验。机械和机器人会议的目的是促进对机械设计和机器人知识基础的理解，所有研究人员和教育工作者将在未来几年共同利用这些知识，以应对挑战并实现全球竞争经济的机遇。机构设计已经并将继续是工业中广泛使用和需要的基本技术之一。ASME学生机械设计竞赛的目的是（1）激发学生对机械设计和研究的兴趣，（2）促进机械理论、设计和应用方面的研究和教育进步。在获得这笔赠款的每一年，都邀请入围者在国际贸易和技术发展研究所介绍他们的工作。入围者的评判标准是创造性、实用性、分析和设计方法的完整性、制造原型的质量、最终报告和会议演示的质量。

This award provides travel funding for students (undergraduate and graduate) participating as finalists in the 2012, 2013, and 2014 ASME Student Mechanism Design Competition. The competition is featured at the Mechanisms and Robotics Conferences, which is part of the ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC) and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (CIE). ASME IDETC/CIE is the premier international meeting in the fields of Design Engineering and Computers and Information in Engineering. This event is designed to showcase cutting edge research and accomplishments, and to enrich the educational experience in these fields. The purpose of the Mechanisms and Robotics conference is to advance the understanding of the base of knowledge in mechanism design and robotics that all researchers and educators will collectively draw upon in the years ahead to meet the challenges and realize the opportunities of a globally competitive economy. Mechanism design has been and will continue be one of the fundamental techniques that are widely used and needed in industry. The objective of the ASME Student Mechanism Design Competition is (1) to stimulate students' interests in mechanism design and research and (2) to promote advances in research and education in the theory, design and application of mechanisms. Finalists are invited to present their work at IDETC each of the years of this grant. Finalists are judged on the basis of creativity, practicality, integrity of analysis and design methodology, quality of the fabricated prototype, quality of the final report and the conference presentation.
