The project will support student participation in the 2023 IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS), which will be held in San Diego, CA on June 11-16, 2023. Support will be provided for an educational program called Project Connect which was initiated in 2014. The objective of the program is to increase the participation of students from underrepresented minority groups in STEM. The program provides students many exciting opportunities to learn the state-of-the-art technology advancements and interact with potential mentors in the microwave and wireless technological areas. The project aims to develop the technical interests of the student participants, motivating them to be involved in undergraduate research and interested in further studies in graduate program, which will help them develop a successful long-term professional career and contribute to the U.S. STEM workforce. The IEEE IMS addresses research areas in microwave technologies from MHz to THz and is the largest conference in the world in this field. The symposium has played a key role in identifying new directions for research and development. The 4-day agenda of Project Connect program includes community building and professional development, in addition to the technical events and industry exhibition at the symposium. The program’s most impactful benefit is the chance for participants to develop their professional networks and meet wireless and microwave experts from across the globe. The program will be described in IEEE Microwave Magazine, with the aim of encouraging other conferences to develop similar programs.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.

该项目将支持学生参加2023年IEEE国际微波研讨会（IMS），该研讨会将于2023年6月11日至16日在加州圣地亚哥举行。将为2014年启动的名为Project Connect的教育项目提供支持。该计划的目标是增加来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生参与STEM。该计划为学生提供了许多令人兴奋的机会来学习最先进的技术进步，并与微波和无线技术领域的潜在导师进行互动。该项目旨在培养学生参与者的技术兴趣，激励他们参与本科研究，并对研究生课程的进一步学习感兴趣，这将有助于他们发展成功的长期职业生涯，并为美国STEM劳动力做出贡献。IEEE IMS致力于从兆赫到太赫兹微波技术的研究领域，是世界上该领域最大的会议。研讨会在确定研究和发展的新方向方面发挥了关键作用。在为期4天的会议议程中，除了研讨会上的技术活动和行业展览外，还包括社区建设和专业发展。该计划最具影响力的好处是参与者有机会发展他们的专业网络，并与来自全球的无线和微波专家会面。该计划将在IEEE微波杂志上进行描述，目的是鼓励其他会议开发类似的计划。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。
