NSF CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop at the 2014 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences; Buffalo, New York, 19 August 2014

系统工程和设计研究的不断扩大使美国机械工程师协会(ASME)国际设计和工程技术会议成为ASME组织的最大会议之一。每年都有许多博士生和初级教师参加会议，目的是展示他们的工作并在社区中站稳脚跟。然而，在这些类型的会议上，有必要在设计界进一步发展和吸引新的学者。目前，这类会议的主要重点是发表论文，而不是培养高级博士生，以便成功过渡到学术界或工业界的设计研究奖学金职位。通过支持职业发展研讨会，该奖项为与会者提供了如何为他们的一生和职业目标制定战略计划的信息。它将帮助研究生和初级教师发现职业发展和自我表现的关键组成部分，从而平稳过渡到有意义的职业生涯。此外，它还将提高研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师对未来职位的热情，并向他们传授重要的技术技能以及沟通和领导技能。最后，讲习班将继续促进设计工程界在国家一级的沟通渠道。为了确保设计工程界的连续性和进一步发展，将在2014年ASME国际设计工程技术会议上举办NSF职业计划书撰写研讨会。除了专注于职业发展技能、选择和实践之外，本研讨会还将介绍如何制定有效的“职业发展助学金”的信息，将一批有兴趣成为独立学者的研究生和领先的教职调查人员聚集在一起。研讨会与面向制造的设计和生命周期技术会议时间表相结合，将为与会者提供机会会见来自设计界不同相关领域的杰出研究人员和教育工作者。

The on-going expansion of research in systems engineering and design makes the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) International Design and Engineering Technical Conferences one of the largest conferences organized by ASME. Every year, many doctoral students and junior faculty attend the conference with the aim of presenting their work and establishing themselves in the community. However, there is a need at these types of conferences to further develop and attract new scholars within the design community. Currently, the main focus of such conferences is on presenting papers, rather than on nurturing advanced doctoral students to successfully transition into design research scholarship positions in academia or in industry. By supporting a career development workshop, this award provides conference participants with information on how to develop a strategic plan for their lifetime and career goals. It will enable graduate students and junior faculty to make a smooth transition into a meaningful career by helping them discover the crucial components of career development and self-representation. In addition, it will increase the enthusiasm of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty toward their future positions, and teach them significant technical skills as well as communication and leadership skills. Finally, the workshop will continue to foster lines of communication for the Design Engineering community at the national level. To ensure the continuity and further development of the design engineering community, an NSF CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop will be held at the 2014 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences. In addition to focusing on career development skills, choices, and practices, this workshop will present information about how to develop an effective "CAREER development grant," bringing together a pool of graduate students and leading faculty investigators interested in becoming independent scholars. The workshop is integrated with the Design for Manufacturing and Life Cycle Technical Conference schedule, and will provide participants the opportunity to meet distinguished researchers and educators from a diverse array of interrelated fields within the design community.
