This award is to provide travel and registration support to 40 senior PhD students and postdocs to participate in the inaugural Future Faculty symposium in the 2023 Society of Engineering Science (SES) Technical Meeting that will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, 8-11 October 2023. This is the 60th installment of this conference with primary focus on mechanics, with participation of experts from various engineering disciplines, physical and life sciences, as well as mathematics. The symposium will have two components: a poster session and a fishbowl conversation panel, which will offer the prospects an opportunity to highlight their credentials and learn from various stakeholders, respectively, while forming valuable connections. Due consideration in the candidate selection process will be given to members of underrepresented groups and to diversity of institutions. The award will benefit the nation through the experiences gained by future faculty prospects who are expected to add to the skilled and diverse engineering workforce, better prepared for challenges of their chosen fields. The objective of this symposium is to enable a diverse pool of faculty prospects to learn, network, and improve their chances for success in academia. In the first part of the symposium, the poster session will provide an opportunity for these prospects to highlight their research and education credentials to the conference participants. In the second part of the symposium, the fishbowl conversation panel will be attended by faculty of all ranks, department heads, and federal program managers, who will offer their advice and experience to the prospects on the application process, interview pitch and expectations, and transition. This event will provide significant visibility to the prospects, offer opportunity to network with mentors, and facilitate connection with employers. In return, the community will also be introduced to potential new leaders in the field. This first-ever event is designed to support the development of the workforce of tomorrow.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.

该奖项将为40名高级博士生和博士后提供旅行和注册支持，参加将于2023年10月8日至11日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行的2023年工程科学学会（SES）技术会议的首届未来教师研讨会。这是该会议的第60期，主要关注力学，来自各种工程学科，物理和生命科学以及数学的专家参加。研讨会将分为两个部分：海报环节和鱼缸对话小组，这将为潜在客户提供一个机会，分别展示他们的资历，向不同的利益相关者学习，同时形成有价值的联系。在选择候选人的过程中，将适当考虑代表性不足群体的成员和院校的多样性。该奖项将通过未来的教师前景所获得的经验使国家受益，他们有望增加熟练和多样化的工程劳动力，更好地为他们选择的领域的挑战做好准备。这次研讨会的目的是使不同的教师前景能够学习，网络，并提高他们在学术界取得成功的机会。在研讨会的第一部分，海报部分将为这些前景者提供机会，向与会者突出他们的研究和教育证书。在研讨会的第二部分，所有级别的教师、部门主管和联邦项目经理将参加鱼缸对话小组，他们将在申请过程、面试过程和期望以及过渡方面向潜在申请者提供建议和经验。这个活动将为学生的前景提供重要的知名度，提供与导师建立联系的机会，并促进与雇主的联系。作为回报，社区也将被介绍给该领域潜在的新领导者。这是有史以来第一次活动，旨在支持未来劳动力的发展。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。
