2004 NSF Design, Service and Manufacturing Grantees and Research Conference

该奖项是为了举办一年一度的国家科学基金设计、服务和制造研究会议。会议将有设计、制造和工业创新司(DMII)内所有计划领域的研究人员参加，工程教育和中心(EEC)、电气和通信系统(ECS)、土木工程和机械结构(CMS)司的制造业研究人员将参加，工程、信息和智能系统局(IIS)内的工程、信息和智能系统局(IIS)内的制造业研究人员、数学和物理科学局内的材料研究(DMR)、国际计划(INT)、社会、行为和经济研究局(IOC)内的制造业研究人员，特别是位于社会、从事制造业相关研究的学生将介绍当前研究中正在进行的活动，并参加超出其直接研究领域的会议。正在进行的制造业相关研究活动的研究由国家技术研究委员会(CONACyT)的受赠者(来自墨西哥境内)和自然科学与工程研究理事会(NSERC)和国家研究委员会(NRC)的受赠者(来自加拿大境内)介绍。会议确保个别研究人员了解其同事正在进行的活动。可以消除他们的重复工作，这项活动可能会带来一定程度的合作。预计研究活动的效率将全面提高。此外，会议项目组织允许有充足的时间在会议上与集体研究社区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，受赠人和项目主管之间的个人接触应该有助于澄清他们工作中的许多当前问题。会议的目的是：(1)拓宽所有参与者的视野；(2)促进思想和技术从一个研究领域转移到另一个领域；(3)允许在相关研究领域工作的人了解他们的同行，以避免重复研究并鼓励合作，以及(4)允许来自集体研究社区、NSF、CONACyT、NSERC和NRC计划工作人员的个人接触，详细讨论制造研究(这将有助于澄清正在进行的项目中的许多当前问题)。参加会议的人可以及早接触到传播的信息。

This award is to conduct the annual National Science Foundation Design, Service and Manufacturing Research Conference. The conference will involve researchers in all program areas within the Division of Design, Manufacture and Industrial Innovation (DMII), the manufacturing researchers in the Divisions of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC), Electrical and Communication Systems (ECS), Civil and Mechanical Structures (CMS), located within the Directorate for Engineering, Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS), located within the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering, Materials Research (DMR), located within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, International Programs (INT), Social, Behavioral, and Economic Research, specifically the Innovation and Organizational Change Program (IOC), located in the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences who are in manufacturing related research will present ongoing activities in their current research and attend sessions which will extend beyond their immediate area of research. Ongoing research in manufacturing related research activities are presented by the grantees from the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (CONACyT), from locations within Mexico, and grantees from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the National Research Council (NRC), from locations within Canada. 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 clarify many current issues in their work.The aims of the conference are: (1) to broaden the outlook of all participants; (2) promote transfer of ideas and technology from one area of research to another; (3) to allow those working in a related area of research to get to know their peers so as to avoid duplication of research and to encourage cooperation, and (4) to allow personal contacts from the collective research community, the NSF, CONACyT, NSERC, and NRC program staff to discuss manufacturing research in detail (this should contribute to clarifying many current problems in ongoing projects). Attendees to the conference gain an early access to the information disseminated.
