Conference: IACM 2nd Mechanistic Machine Learning & Digital Engineering for Computational Science, Engineering & Technology (MMLDE-CSET); El Paso, Texas; 24-27 September 20

该奖项将为20名高中生，15名本科生和20名研究生，5名博士后研究员和3名高中教师提供旅行和注册支持，以亲自或虚拟方式参加将于2023年9月24日至27日在德克萨斯州埃尔帕索举行的第二届机械机器学习与数字工程计算科学，工程与技术（MMLDE-CSET）会议。MMLDE-CSET的目标是为来自学术界、工业界和联邦实体的工程、基础科学、数学、数据和计算机科学领域的专家提供一个跨学科合作的平台，这些专家对基于机械方法和计算工程和科学范式开发和应用机器学习和数字孪生解决方案来解决复杂的技术问题感兴趣。此外，会议努力通过教育和传播促进下一代工程师、科学家和研究人员的发展，重点关注未被充分代表的群体。本次会议的目标是在基于机械的计算科学和工程方法的背景下，使未来的劳动力能够接触到指数级增长的机器学习和数字孪生领域。有一些专门针对学生的活动。本科生将有机会在由口头和海报会议组成的独家教育轨道上展示他们的研究。面向研究生、本科生和高中生的两门为期一天的短期课程将提供数字工程、机械数据科学和机器学习在STEM领域的基本应用。午餐时间将举办三场教育专题讨论会，分别讨论课程、教与学的方法和经费。除了这些精心设计的活动，学生们还可以参加全体会议和一般技术会议，并在特定主题的会议上与行业互动。该项目得到了先进制造（AM）计划、生物力学和机械生物学（BMMB）计划、土木基础设施工程（ECI）计划以及土木、机械和制造创新（CMMI）部门的材料和结构力学（mom）计划的支持。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。

This award is to provide travel and registration support to 20 high school, 15 undergraduate and 20 graduate students, 5 post-doctoral fellows, and 3 high school teachers to participate in-person or virtually in the 2nd Mechanistic Machine Learning & Digital Engineering for Computational Science, Engineering & Technology (MMLDE-CSET) Conference to be held in El Paso, Texas from 24-27 September 2023. The objective of MMLDE-CSET is to provide a platform for intradisciplinary collaboration between experts in engineering, basic sciences, mathematics, and data and computer science from academia, industry, and federal entities, who have interests in developing and applying machine learning and digital twins solutions to complex technological problems based on mechanistic methods and computational engineering and science paradigms. Additionally, the conference strives to facilitate the development of the next generation of engineers, scientists, and researchers, through education and dissemination, with a strong focus on underrepresent groups. The objective of this conference pertinent to this grant is to enable and expose the workforce of tomorrow to the exponentially growing fields of machine learning and digitals twins in the context of mechanistic based computational science and engineering methods. There are several activities dedicated or geared towards students. Undergraduate students will have an opportunity to present their research in an exclusive education track composed of oral and poster sessions. Two short one-day courses targeted towards graduate, undergraduate, and high school students will be offered on digital engineering, mechanistic data science, and basic application of ML as applied to STEM fields. Three lunchtime education panels on curriculum, teaching and learning approaches, and funding, respectively, will be held for general audiences. Besides these carefully designed activities, students will be able to attend plenary talks and general technical sessions and interact with industry in specifically themed sessions.This project is supported by the Advanced Manufacturing (AM) Program, the Biomechanics and Mechanobiology (BMMB) Program, the Engineering for Civil Infrastructure (ECI) Program, and the Mechanics of Materials and Structures (MoMS) Program of the Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) Division.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.
