Student Participation in the 44th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science; held October 21-24, 2007; at Texas A&M University

工程科学学会（SES）技术会议每年举行一次，为讨论和传播工程科学各个领域的研究、发展和教育方面的最新进展提供一个论坛。会议为来自不同学科的科学家和工程师提供了一个独特的论坛，就共同感兴趣的问题交流他们的想法。SES 2007会议将于2007年10月21日至24日在德州农工大学大学城校园举行。会议将包括约350场会谈，涉及广泛的议题。NSF的财政支持将用于支持参加SES会议的学生的旅费、注册费和学生论文竞赛费用。美国国家科学基金会的财政支持和赞助对于会议的成功以及鼓励年轻科学家参与科学论坛并在同行面前展示他们的研究至关重要。会议涵盖的研究领域/专题讨论会预计将对NSF及其科学使命产生重大影响。会议所涵盖的固体和流体介质的科学和力学主题对工程科学的未来产生重大影响，对国家的研究竞争力至关重要。

The Society of Engineering Science (SES) technical meeting is held annually to provide a forum for the discussion and dissemination of recent advances in research, development, and education with topics from all areas of engineering science. The meeting provides a unique forum for scientists and engineers from various disciplines to communicate their ideas on problems of common interest. The SES 2007 meeting will be held October 21 - 24, 2007 on the campus of Texas A&M University - College Station. The meeting will consist of approximately 350 talks covering a wide range of topics.The financial support from NSF will be used in support of expenses for travel, registration, and the student paper competition for students attending the SES meeting. The financial support and sponsorship of the National Science Foundation is vital for the success of the meeting and the encouragement of young scientists to be engaged in scientific forums and present their research in front of their peers. The research areas/symposia covered by the meeting are expected to be of significant interest to NSF and its scientific mission. Topics on the science and mechanics of solid and fluid media covered at the meeting have significant impact on the future of engineering sciences and are of extreme importance to the Nation's research competitiveness.
