Symposium on Advances in Multidisciplinary Engineering; International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Expo; Houston, Texas; November 13-19, 2015

该补助金为将于2015年11月13日至19日在德克萨斯州休斯顿举行的国际机械工程大会和博览会上举行的特别研讨会提供部分资金。ASME年度大会由美国机械工程师协会（ASME）组织，可能是涵盖机械工程领域的最重要的会议：应用力学，热和流体系统，传热，材料工程，工程设计，能源，制造和工程教育。本专题的重点是多学科工程的进展。多学科工程进展研讨会将突出多学科方法在工程研究、设计和教育中的重要性。 研讨会将集中在材料的力学行为，摩擦学，切削工具和加工，聚合物加工，设计理论，复杂性理论和多学科工程教育。来自学术界和工业界的多元化和国际化的个人将参加小组讨论，以确定未来的挑战和研究需求，从工业和学术的角度。 论文将在ASME发行的DVD上出版，并与两个讨论小组的摘要建议和不包括完整手稿的演讲摘要一起沿着在印刷的会议录中。

This grant provides partial funding for a special Symposium to be held in conjunction with the International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Expo, November 13-19, 2015, in Houston, Texas. The overall event, the ASME Annual Congress, is organized by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and is perhaps the foremost conference covering the broad range of fields that comprise mechanical engineering: applied mechanics, thermal and fluid systems, heat transfer, materials engineering, engineering design, energy, manufacturing, and engineering education. This Track is focused on Advances in Multidisciplinary Engineering.The Symposium on Advances in Multidisciplinary Engineering will highlight the importance of the multidisciplinary approach in engineering research, design, and education. The symposium will focus on Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Tribology, Cutting Tools and Machining, Polymer Processing, Design Theory, Complexity Theory and Multidisciplinary Engineering Education. A diverse and international group of individuals from academia and industry will participate in the panel discussions to identify future challenges and research needs from both industrial and academic perspectives. Papers will be published on the DVD issued by the ASME and included, along with the summary recommendations of two discussion panels and the abstracts of the presentations that do not include full manuscripts, in the printed proceedings.
