Next Generation of Manufacturing Engineers for the Automotive Sector

汽车行业下一代制造工程师计划向有意从事汽车制造业的学士、硕士和博士学位的机械和工业工程专业学生颁发奖学金。每年总共颁发29个奖学金，为期四年。奖学金是根据经济需要和学术前景颁发的，重点是培养多元化的汽车工程师队伍。知识价值集中在跨学科和垂直集成的方法上，也就是说，从整个供应链的角度来看待制造，从设计到组装再到客户交付。更广泛的影响包括向K-12学生和教师伸出援手，积极招募和留住女性和非裔美国本科生和研究生。学生招聘、支持和指导由贝尔南少数民族工程项目和当地的女工程师协会、全国黑人工程师协会、工业工程师协会、美国机械工程师协会和汽车工程师协会的学生分会提供。该项目确保了东南地区不断发展的汽车行业中训练有素的工程师的供应，并有助于鼓励该地区进一步发展该行业，该地区历来在经济和教育方面处于劣势。

The Next Generation of Manufacturing Engineers Program for the Automotive Sector Program awards scholarships to mechanical and industrial engineering students at the bachelors, masters and doctoral levels who desire to prepare for careers in automotive manufacturing. A total of 29 scholarships per year for four years are awarded. Scholarships are awarded based on financial need and academic promise with attention to developing a diverse workforce of automotive engineers. The intellectual merit focuses on an interdisciplinary and vertically integrated approach, that is, approaching manufacturing from a total supply chain perspective that considers the vehicle from design through assembly to customer delivery. Broader impacts includes outreach to K-12 students and teachers, and energetic recruitment and retention of women and African-American undergraduate and graduate students. Student recruitment, support and mentoring are be provided by the BellSouth Minority Engineering Program and the local student chapters of the Society of Women Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers, the Institute of Industrial Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Society of Automotive Engineers. This project ensures a supply of well-trained engineers in the growing automotive industry in the Southeast and helps encourage further development of this industry within the region, which has historically been economically and educationally disadvantaged.
