1998 National Science Foundation Design and Manufacturing Grantees Conference; Monterrey, Mexico; January 5-8, 1998

该奖项是进行年度国家科学基金会设计和制造资助者会议。 会议将涉及来自设计，制造和工业创新部，工程教育和中心部，电气和通信系统部以及土木和机械结构部的力学和材料计划的研究人员，位于工程局，信息，机器人和智能系统部，该项目位于计算机和信息科学与工程理事会内，制造相关项目位于材料研究部，位于数学和物理科学理事会内。 会议确保研究人员了解他们的同事正在进行的活动。 这一活动可能会消除它们工作的重复，并可能产生一定程度的合作。 预计研究活动的效率将全面提高。 此外，会议计划组织允许有足够的时间在会议上与集体研究团体详细讨论制造业研究，并向国家科学基金会提供反馈和投入。 最后，受赠者和各司方案主任之间的个人接触应有助于澄清他们工作中的许多当前问题。 会议的目的是加强研究人员之间的交流，鼓励联合研究，促进协同作用，并发展技术交流网络。 与会者可以抢先体验所传播的信息。

This award is to conduct the annual National Science Foundation Design and Manufacturing Grantees Conference. The conference will involve researchers from the Division of Design, Manufacture and Industrial Innovation, the Division of Engineering Education and Centers, the Division of Electrical and Communication Systems and the Mechanics and Materials Program in the Division of Civil and Mechanical Structures, located within the Directorate for Engineering, the Division of Information, Robotics and Intelligent Systems, located within the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering and manufacturing related projects in the Division of Materials Research, located within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences. The conference ensures that the individual researchers are informed about the ongoing activities of their colleagues. An elimination of duplication of their efforts may be achieved and a degree of cooperation may result from this activity. An overall improvement of efficiency of the research activity could be expected. In addition, the conference program organization allows for ample time to discuss manufacturing research in detail with the collective research community at the meeting, with feedback to and input from the National Science Foundation. Finally personal contacts between the grantees and program directors in the Divisions should contribute to clarifying many current issues in their work. The aims of the conference are to enhance communication between researchers, encourage joint research, promote synergism, and develop networks for technical interchange. Attendees to the conference gain an early access to the information disseminated.
