Workshop: Blue Skies Manufacturing Workshop at 2018 NAMRC/MSEC; College Station, Texas; June 18-22, 2018

该奖项延续了北美最大的制造业大会--由美国机械工程师学会主办的共址2018国际制造业科学与工程会议(MSEC)和由美国制造业工程师学会北美制造研究所主办的第46届北美制造业研究年会(NAMRC)期间的“蓝天制造工坊”。本次会议将于2018年6月18日至22日举行，由德克萨斯州A&M大学学院站主办。这是举办研讨会的理想场所，研讨会旨在为未来十多年的制造业确定大胆的愿景，并确定实现这一大胆愿景所需的基础研究。这两个制造工程领域的领先会议充当了行业、政府实验室和学术机构之间的全球桥梁。蓝天活动将包括：1)研讨会组织者和其他人的简短介绍性演讲；2)6-8位制造业思想领袖的演讲；3)研讨会参与者、NSF计划主任、制造业思想领袖和跨部门先进制造国家计划办公室工作人员之间的互动。演讲者将从一页的摘要中选出；他们参加研讨会的旅费将得到该奖项的资助。评审团将对演讲进行评估，并决定获胜者。制造业工程师协会继续将David Dornfeld制造业远景奖授予最佳演示文稿。这次研讨会预计将有至少80名与会者参加，旨在成为一年一度的活动的第一次，这将有助于阐明和制定广泛的制造业愿景，并促进对这一愿景的支持。这一愿景将成为政策制定者、联邦资助机构、制定自己的制造战略的公司、大学研究人员和其他人的有用资源。支持将包括(1)注册费和(2)演讲者和个人宣传员的旅费。摘要的征集通过制造工程师协会和美国机械工程师协会进行传播；提交的申请将经过会议委员会的挑选过程。评分最高的申请者将被邀请进行完整的演讲。会议结束后，蓝天愿景的摘要将作为北美制造研究所的白皮书发布。

This award continues the "Blue Skies Manufacturing Workshop" during North America's largest manufacturing conference - the co-located 2018 International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC) sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the 46th Annual North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC) sponsored by the North American Manufacturing Research Institution of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. This conference will take place from June 18-22, 2018 and is hosted by Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas. This is the ideal venue for the workshop, which is designed to identify bold visions for the manufacturing sector more than ten years in the future, and to identify the required basic research needed to achieve that bold vision. These two leading conferences in the Manufacturing Engineering field act as global bridges between industries, government laboratories, and academic institutions. Blue Skies Activities will include: 1) Brief introductory presentations by Workshop organizers and others; 2) Presentations by 6-8 manufacturing thought leaders; 3) Interactions among workshop participants, NSF program directors, Manufacturing thought leaders, and staff of the interagency Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office. The speakers will be selected from one-page abstracts; their travel to the workshop will be supported by the award. A panel of judges will evaluate the presentations and decide upon a winner. The Society of Manufacturing Engineers continues to award the David Dornfeld Manufacturing Vision Award to the best presentation. The workshop, expected to be attended by at least 80 attendees of the conference, is intended to be the first instance of an annual event that will help articulate and develop a broad manufacturing vision, and to catalyze support for that vision. The vision will be a useful resource for policy makers, federal funding agencies, companies developing their own manufacturing strategies, university researchers, and others. The support will cover (1) the registration fees, and (2) the travel fees for the speakers and PIs. The call for abstracts is disseminated through the Society of Manufacturing Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers; the submitted applications go through a selection process by the conference committee. The highest rated applications will be invited to give full presentations. After the conference, a summary of the Blue Skies visions will be published as a North American Manufacturing Research Institute white paper.
