Support for Participation of US Students to the 3rd World Congress on Micro-Nano Manufacturing (WCMNM); Raleigh, North Carolina; 10-12 September 2019

该奖项的目的是为20名研究生参加第三届世界微纳米制造大会（WCMNM）提供部分旅费支持；2019年9月10日至12日，北卡罗来纳州罗利。大会重点关注微纳米制造科学与工程领域的新发展。学生们在会议上展示他们的研究成果，与来自美国和国际机构的顶尖研究人员和工程师交流思想，并参观罗利三角研究园区从事纳米微制造的公司。学生的旅行补助是基于他们在会议上发表的论文和一份简短的愿景声明的接受程度。优先考虑女性或来自代表性不足群体的学生参与者。这种方法促进了会议的多样化参与。该奖项通过教育和培训熟练和多样化的工程劳动力使国家受益，更好地为他们选择的领域的挑战提供变革性的解决方案。这种参与支持有望有利于学生的专业、科学和技术发展。与会者有机会培养纳米微制造的全球视野，并了解该领域的最新发展。广泛的主题提出，以促进学习和培训。这些包括微观和纳米尺度的过程力学和动力学；机器和设备的小型化；micro-factory范式;微纳米计量；材料处理;多尺度建模与仿真；微纳米级制造设计；微纳米增材制造技术；和其他人。参与的学生通过参加国际领先的微纳米制造专家的技术演讲，并与来自世界各地的研究人员进行互动来学习。这些经验培养了新的想法和更深层次的基本理解，这有助于塑造制造科学和工程研究的未来。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The purpose of this award is to provide partial travel support for 20 graduate students to attend the 3rd World Congress on Micro-Nano Manufacturing (WCMNM); Raleigh NC, 10-12 September 2019. The congress focuses on new developments in the field of micro and nano manufacturing science and engineering. The students present their research at the conference, exchange ideas with leading researchers and engineers from U.S. and international institutions and visit companies involved with nano-micro manufacturing in Raleigh's Research Triangle Park. Travel grants for the students are based on acceptance of their paper for presentation at the conference and a short vision statement. Priority is given to student participants who are women or who come from underrepresented groups. This approach promotes diverse participation at the conference. This award benefits the nation through the education and training of a skilled and diverse engineering workforce better prepared to provide transformative solutions the challenges of their chosen fields.This participation support is expected to benefit the students' professional, scientific and technical development. Participants are given an opportunity to nurture a global vision in nano-micro-manufacturing and learn about the latest developments in the field. A wide range of topics are presented to stimulate learning and training. These include mechanics and dynamics of processes at the micro and nano-scale; miniaturization of machines and equipment; micro-factory paradigm; micro- and nano-scale metrology; materials handling; multi-scale modeling and simulation; design for micro- and nano-scale manufacturing; micro and nano additive manufacturing technologies; and others. Participating students learn by attending technical presentations by leading international experts in micro and nano manufacturing, and by interacting with fellow researchers from around the world. These experiences foster new ideas and a deeper fundamental understanding, which help shape future of research in manufacturing science and engineering.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
