Travel Support for Student Participation at the 2023 ASME Energy Sustainability (ASME-ES) Conference; Washington, DC; 10-12 July 2023

该奖项提供学生旅行和注册支持，以参加和参加2023年美国机械工程师协会-能源可持续性（ASME-ES）会议。ASME是一个专业的工程组织，能够在所有工程学科中实现协作，知识共享，职业丰富和技能发展。其目标是帮助全球工程界开发造福社会的解决方案。ASME-ES会议汇集了广泛的能源可持续性领域的学者和从业者。会议重点介绍了从建筑到公用事业规模的可持续和创新能源技术的研究、设计和制造方面的进展，以及社会层面的能源分析和解决方案。先进制造在追求能源可持续性方面发挥着关键作用，从材料合成到系统设计再到制造。ASME-ES 2023促进了以先进制造为重点的轨道。会议为与会者提供了一个机会，分享他们的科学发现，与来自学术界，政府实验室和工业界的同行和同事互动，扩展他们的网络，并在更广泛的先进制造社区内促进新的合作。与NSF扩大科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体的参与的目标相一致，会议为代表性不足的少数民族，妇女和残疾人的学生分配了旅行资金。这种方法促进了STEM领域的更大多样性，并通过教育和培训技术熟练的劳动力，使其更好地准备提供变革性的解决方案，以克服其所选领域的挑战，从而使国家受益。ASME-ES会议满足了推进能源可持续性和实现多样性，公平和包容性的国家优先事项。ASME-ES为机械工程和其他工程社区提供了一个独特的平台，专注于能源可持续性的方法。工程界与制造业密切合作，这有助于基础研究迅速过渡到工业和有用的商业产品。会议委员会已经确定了能源可持续性的协同机会和平台，涵盖材料科学，先进制造，集成系统设计以及教育和培训。对本次会议的支持符合NSF的使命，即促进科学和工程基础研究，将研究成果转化为工业和应用，促进教育和劳动力发展。会议为新兴科学家和工程师提供了一个论坛，展示他们的科学成就，与同行互动，并在更广泛的工程和学术界扩展他们的网络。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides student travel and registration support to attend and participate in the 2023 The American Society of Mechanical Engineers - Energy Sustainability (ASME-ES) Conference. ASME is a professional engineering organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing, career enrichment and skills development across all engineering disciplines. Its goal is to help the global engineering community develop solutions to benefit society. The ASME-ES conference brings together scholars and practitioners in a wide range of energy sustainability fields. The conference highlights advances in research, design and manufacture of sustainable and innovative energy technologies from building to utility scales as well as society-level energy analyses and solutions. Advanced manufacturing plays a key role in pursuing energy sustainability from materials synthesis to system design to manufacturing. ASME-ES 2023 promotes tracks with an emphasis on advanced manufacturing. The conference offers participants an opportunity to share their scientific discoveries, interact with peers and colleagues from academia, government labs, and industry, extend their network, and foster new collaborations within the broader advanced manufacturing community. Consistent with NSF's goal to broaden the participation of groups underrepresented in science and engineering, the conference allocates travel funds to students from underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities. This approach promotes greater diversity in STEM fields and benefits the nation by educating and training a skilled workforce better prepared to provide transformative solutions to overcome challenges in their chosen fields. The conference meets the national priorities of advancing energy sustainability and achieving diversity, equity and inclusion.ASME-ES presents a unique platform for the mechanical engineering and other engineering communities to focus on approaches to energy sustainability. The engineering community has close collaboration with manufacturing industries, which facilitates prompt transition of fundamental research to industry and useful commercial products. The conference committee has identified synergistic opportunities and platforms for energy sustainability, covering materials science, advanced manufacturing, integrated systems design and education and training. Support of this conference aligns with NSF’s mission of fostering fundamental research in science and engineering, translating the research outcomes to industry and applications and advancing education and workforce development. The conference provides a forum for emerging scientists and engineers to showcase their scientific accomplishments, interact with peers and extend their network within the broader engineering and academic communities. This activity facilitates future career opportunities in academia and industry for participating students.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.
