2016 International Microwave Symposium Educational Initiatives for Project Connect: Workshop Support to be held in San Francisco, CA on May 22-27, 2016.

拟议的项目将支持学生参加将于2016年5月22日至27日在加州旧金山举行的2016年国际微波研讨会（IMS）。将为一个名为IMS Connect的教育项目提供支持，该项目于2014年启动，并将在今年的活动中扩大。拟议的工作将侧重于使代表性不足的学生接触到与电子和通信等广泛技术领域相关的IMS社区中令人兴奋的机会和潜在的导师。参加活动的学生亦会了解不同科技领域的创新及创业活动。技术描述ims将讨论射频/微波工程的研究领域，是该领域世界上最大的会议。该项目将提高人们对职业机会和期望的认识，以及获得榜样和潜在导师的机会。它还将在专业杂志上进行介绍，有可能鼓励其他会议采用类似的方案。

Nontechnical descriptionThe proposed project will support student participation in the 2016 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) that will be held in San Francisco, California from May 22 to May 27, 2016. Support will be provided for an educational program called IMS Connect which was initiated in 2014 and will be expanded in this year's event. The proposed work will focus on exposing underrepresented students to exciting opportunities and potential mentors within the IMS community related to broad technology areas such as electronics and communications. The participating students will also be introduced to innovation and entrepreneurship efforts emerging in a variety of new technological areas. Technical descriptionIMS will address research areas in RF/microwave engineering and is the largest conference in the world in this field. The project will provide awareness on career opportunities and expectations and access to role models and potential mentors. It will also be described in professional magazines with the potential to encourage other conferences to adopt a similar type of program.
