This project provides funding to subsidize a student-oriented conference in power engineering, the 2017 edition of the North American Power Symposium (NAPS). Most of the funding will be used to support student-related travel expenses incurred by US university students attending the symposium, which will take place in Morgantown, WV during September 17-19, 2017. The symposium will be hosted by West Virginia University. NAPS is a nonprofit event with technical sponsorship from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and has a tradition of providing an opportunity for students to share their research with one another and with faculty and industry experts. The overwhelming majority of papers in NAPS are traditionally presented by students. NAPS has been supported by the National Science Foundation in the past, which has positively influenced student participation. In addition to providing subsidized accommodation for students, the organizers' efforts to foster and encourage student participation include a comprehensive student program, tours of nearby industry sites, and a student paper competition with awards. Moreover, measures will be taken to encourage participation of women and underrepresented minorities in the conference.

该项目提供资金，以资助面向学生的电力工程会议，2017年版的北美电力研讨会（NAPS）。大部分资金将用于支持美国大学生参加研讨会所产生的与学生相关的差旅费，研讨会将于2017年9月17日至19日在西弗吉尼亚州摩根敦举行。研讨会将由西弗吉尼亚大学主办。NAPS是一个非盈利性活动，由电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）提供技术赞助，并有一个传统，为学生提供一个机会，彼此分享他们的研究，并与教师和行业专家。NAPS中绝大多数的论文传统上都是由学生提交的。NAPS过去一直得到国家科学基金会的支持，这对学生的参与产生了积极的影响。除了为学生提供补贴住宿外，组织者还努力培养和鼓励学生参与，包括全面的学生计划，附近工业场所的图尔斯参观，以及学生论文比赛和奖项。此外，将采取措施鼓励妇女和代表人数不足的少数群体参加会议。
