The purpose of this award is to provide partial travel support for 40 graduate and undergraduate students to attend the American Society of Mechanical Engineers International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition on November 11-17, 2016 in Phoenix, Arizona. The students will participate in a poster symposium to present their research projects to the broader Mechanical Engineering community. The students will be selected on the basis of an application including a brief resume, a one-page statement of why they want to attend the conference, and a statement of support from their faculty advisor. Consideration in the selection process will be given to inclusion of members of underrepresented groups and diversity of institutions that the students represent. This participation support is expected to benefit students' professional, scientific and technical development. Attendance at the conference will give the students a broader view of the engineering profession and of state-of-the-art research in their fields via access to approximately 2000 technical and professional development talks by domestic and international speakers. Students will enhance their communication skills via lively discussions of their work with the top researchers in their fields during the society-wide Poster Symposium. They will also have the opportunity to attend many technical presentations spanning more than 240 topics, join the keynote and plenary sessions featuring technological pioneers, and network with potential mentors, colleagues, and employers. This interactive experience will significantly broaden their education, increase their enthusiasm for their research topic, acquaint them with expectations for scientific careers, and expose them to new avenues for innovative research. This award will benefit the nation through the education of a skilled and diverse engineering workforce better prepared to provide transformative solutions the challenges of their chosen fields.

该奖项的目的是为40名研究生和本科生提供部分旅行支持，以参加2016年11月11日至17日在亚利桑那州凤凰城举行的美国机械工程师协会国际机械工程大会和博览会。学生将参加海报研讨会，向更广泛的机械工程界展示他们的研究项目。学生将根据申请进行选择，包括简短的简历，一页关于他们为什么要参加会议的声明，以及他们的导师的支持声明。在选拔过程中，将考虑纳入代表性不足的群体的成员和学生所代表的机构的多样性。这种参与支持预计将有利于学生的专业、科学和技术发展。参加会议将使学生更广泛地了解工程专业和他们所在领域的最先进的研究，通过国内和国际演讲者的大约2000个技术和专业发展讲座。学生将通过在全社会的海报研讨会期间与各自领域的顶尖研究人员进行生动的讨论来提高他们的沟通技巧。他们还将有机会参加涵盖240多个主题的许多技术演示，参加技术先驱的主题演讲和全体会议，并与潜在的导师，同事和雇主建立联系。这种互动的经验将显着拓宽他们的教育，提高他们对自己的研究课题的热情，熟悉他们的期望科学事业，并使他们接触到创新研究的新途径。该奖项将通过教育一支熟练和多样化的工程队伍，为他们所选择的领域的挑战提供变革性的解决方案，使国家受益。
