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，该会议将于2014年10月1日至3日在印第安纳州西拉斐特的普渡大学举行。SES成立于1963年，目的是促进工程科学各方面的信息自由交流，并为讨论、教育和表彰工程科学界的人才提供一个论坛。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，私人投资促进机构将积极寻求在科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体的参与。这将为个别学生提供在大型专业会议上展示他们的工作的机会，并将有助于激发学会新成员的兴趣和参与，最终服务于更广泛的工程科学和力学研究人员的技术社区。将为参加会议的本科生和研究生举办学生海报大赛。所有参加海报比赛的学生也将被要求在定期会议上展示他们的作品，让他们有在科学家和工程师面前展示他们作品的经验。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。在普渡大学举行的第51届SES年会将通过5个轨道、38个研讨会和1个学生海报比赛，促进工程、科学和数学各学科之间的联系的发展和加强。课程涵盖以下科学领域：流体和热系统力学、生物和仿生材料、固体和结构力学、材料科学中的力学、教育中的工程科学、动力学和控制。除了定期会议外，还为三位SES奖牌获得者举办了三次研讨会。会议结果将收集在一本摘要书中，供所有登记者查阅。有关主旨演讲和摘要的信息计划通过经济局局长网页向广大工程科学界传播。海报大赛将汇聚数十名固体力学、流体力学、生物工程、应用数学等与工程科学相关领域的顶尖研究生。

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.
