Arizona State University (ASU) and Tecnologico de Monterrey (ITESM) have recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and held two administrative meetings at ASU to explore collaborative research and education endeavors. This NSF award provides support to organize two workshops whose themes will be on Sensor Signal and Information Processing Systems. This program will positively impact US-Mexico research and education initiatives and will engage a number of qualified students and faculty from two large institutions in the area of sensors and signal processing. The program will engage underrepresented groups within STEM disciplines such as electrical engineering, with broader impacts on improving the engineering workforce base, with commensurate economic benefits to the two countries. The program will disseminate successful academy-industry collaborative models such as the I/UCRC in Mexico. Several application aspects of sensors will be addressed in industrial areas including localization, mobility with extensions to manufacturing, health, and other systems of common interest.The workshops which will engage USA and Mexico researchers, faculty and students and are titled:-Workshop 1: Sensors and Signal Processing for Localization and Security Applications;-Workshop 2: Academy-Industry Collaborations in Sensors and Signal Processing.The two workshops will be organized by the PI who will lead an organizing committee of faculty and industry partners. The first workshop will be in Tempe, Arizona (December 2015) and the second one in will be held in Monterrey, Mexico (May 2016). The objectives of the workshops are to: a) initiate collaborative structures between faculty and industry researchers in the US and Mexico through research and panel sessions, b) develop STEM foundations in the areas of sensor systems through organized tutorials for students and researchers that will support future workforce development efforts, and c) initiate industry-university relationsin Mexico using US industry academia-research models such as the I/UCRC.

亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）和蒙特雷理工大学（ITESM）最近签署了一份谅解备忘录（MOU），并在亚利桑那州立大学举行了两次行政会议，以探索合作研究和教育努力。该NSF奖提供支持组织两个主题为传感器信号和信息处理系统的研讨会。该项目将对美国-墨西哥的研究和教育计划产生积极影响，并将吸引来自传感器和信号处理领域的两家大型机构的一些合格学生和教师。该项目将涉及电气工程等STEM学科中代表性不足的群体，对改善工程劳动力基础产生更广泛的影响，并为两国带来相应的经济效益。该项目将传播成功的学院-工业合作模式，如墨西哥的I/UCRC。将讨论传感器在工业领域的几个应用方面，包括本地化、扩展到制造业的移动性、健康和其他共同感兴趣的系统。研讨会将邀请美国和墨西哥的研究人员、教师和学生参加，主题为：-研讨会1：定位和安全应用的传感器和信号处理；-工作坊2：传感器和信号处理的学术界与产业界合作。这两个研讨会将由PI组织，PI将领导一个由教师和行业合作伙伴组成的组织委员会。第一次研讨会将于2015年12月在亚利桑那州坦佩举行，第二次研讨会将于2016年5月在墨西哥蒙特雷举行。研讨会的目标是：a)通过研究和小组会议，在美国和墨西哥的教师和行业研究人员之间建立合作结构；b)通过为学生和研究人员组织的教程，在传感器系统领域发展STEM基础，以支持未来的劳动力发展努力；c)利用I/UCRC等美国行业学术研究模式，在墨西哥建立产学研关系。
