Travel Support for Student Participation to the 51st Annual Society of Engineering Science; Purdue University; West Lafayette, Indiana; October 1-3, 2014

该奖项支持学生参加第51届工程科学学会（SES）年度技术会议，将于2014年10月1日至3日在印第安纳州西拉斐特普渡大学举行。SES成立于1963年，旨在促进工程科学各方面信息的自由交流，并为工程科学界的人才提供讨论，教育和认可的论坛。这种支持将产生重大影响，鼓励学生广泛参与会议所包括的活动。特别是，PI将积极寻求在科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体的参与。这将通过提供一个机会，介绍他们的工作在一个主要的专业会议为个别学生，它将有助于产生兴趣和社会，最终服务于工程科学和力学研究人员的更广泛的技术社区的新成员之间的参与。将为参加会议的本科生和研究生举办学生海报比赛。 所有参加海报比赛的学生也将在常规会议上展示他们的工作，让他们在科学家和工程师面前展示他们的工作经验。 美国国家科学基金会的支持将帮助支持学生旅行和注册，以鼓励参与演讲比赛。普渡大学的第51届年度SES会议将促进工程，科学和数学各学科之间的接口的发展和加强，有5个轨道，38个专题讨论会和一个学生海报比赛。涵盖以下科学领域：流体和热系统力学，生物和仿生材料，固体和结构力学，材料科学力学，教育工程科学，动力学和控制。 除了定期会议外，还组织了三次专题讨论会，以荣誉三位SES奖牌得主。 会议结果将编入一本摘要集，提供给所有登记者。 有关主题演讲和摘要的信息计划通过SES网页传播到整个工程科学界。 海报比赛将汇集固体力学，流体力学，生物工程，应用数学和其他与工程科学相关的领域的数十名顶尖研究生。

The award supports student participation at the 51th Annual Society of Engineering Science (SES) Annual Technical Meeting, to be held at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, October 1-3, 2014. Founded in 1963, the purpose of the SES is to promote free exchange of information on all aspects of engineering science and to provide a forum for discussion, education, and recognition of the talents of the engineering science community. The support will have significant impact by encouraging broad participation among students in the activities included in the meeting. In particular, the PIs will actively seek the participation of groups underrepresented in science and engineering. This will serve individual students by providing an opportunity to present their work at a major professional conference, and it will help to generate interest and participation among new members of the Society, which ultimately serves the broader technical community of researchers in engineering science and mechanics. A student poster competition will be held for both undergraduate and graduate students attending the conference. All students participating in poster competition will also be expected to present their work in regular sessions as well, giving them experience in presenting their work in front of scientists and engineers. National Science Foundation support will help support student travel and registration in order to encourage participation in the presentation competition.The 51st Annual SES Meetings at Purdue will promote the development and strengthening of the interfaces between various disciplines in engineering, sciences, and mathematics with 5 tracks, 38 symposia and one student poster competition. The following scientific areas are covered: Mechanics of Fluids and Thermal Systems, Biological and Biomimetic Materials, Mechanics of Solids and Structures, Mechanics in Materials Science, Engineering Science in Education, Dynamics and Control. In addition to regular sessions, three symposia in honor of the three SES medalists are also organized. The results of the meeting will be collected in a book of abstracts made available to all registrants. Information about keynote talks and the abstracts is planned to be disseminated through the SES webpage to the engineering science community at large. The poster competition will bring together dozens of top graduate students in the areas of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, bioengineering, applied mathematics, and other areas related to engineering science.
