美国电力会议（APC）由伊利诺斯理工学院（IIT）主办，是一年一度的国家论坛，讨论电力生产、传输、分配和利用的广泛技术方面。APC具有重要的教育价值，特别是对于那些希望更多地了解电力行业的本科生。认识到这一事实，印度理工学院一直在为教师和学生开展一项特殊计划，称为本·埃利奥特赞助的学生/教师（SSF）计划。该计划包括特别的早餐研讨会和其他活动(如：（工厂参观，拉炮桶）除了常规的APC技术会议外，还专门为学生提供。拟议的参与者支持补助金将极大地帮助本·埃利奥特SSF计划鼓励更多的学生（特别是本科生）从事电力工程方面的工作。

The American Power Conference (APC) sponsored by the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) , is an annual national forum for the discussion of the broad technical aspects of generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric power. APC has significant educational value particularly for undergraduate students who aim to learn more about the electric power industry. In recognition of this fact, IIT has been conducting a special program for faculty and students, called the Ben Elliot Sponsored Student/Faculty (SSF) Program. The program features special breakfast seminars and other events(e.g., plant tours, cracker barrel) expressly for students in addition to the regular APC technical sessions. The proposed participant support grants will significantly aid the Ben Elliott SSF Program in its mission of encouraging more students (especially undergraduates to pursue careers in power engineering.
