Travel Funds for the 11th Americas Conference on Wind Engineering - San Juan Puerto Rico, June 22nd - 26th, 2009

该项目将资助学生参加2009年6月22日至26日在波多黎各圣胡安举行的第11届美洲风力工程会议。这是风力工程界的一次重要会议，每四年举行一次。学生参加本次会议将为他们提供一个极好的机会，与大量在风力工程和风害缓解领域工作的知名研究人员和实践者互动并向他们学习。这将使他们接触到该领域的研究和实施问题，从而增强他们的科学知识基础，以便更深入地参与该主题，以解决当前感兴趣的工程问题。这也将为下一代劳动力提供良好的培训，他们最终将参与减轻与风有关的危害

This project will support the travel of students to participate in the 11th Americas Conference on Wind Engineering in San Juan, Puerto Rico on June 22 to 26, 2009. This is a major conference for the wind engineering community, held every four years. The student participation in this conference will provide them an excellent opportunity to interact with and learn from a large number of established researchers and practitioners working in the area of wind engineering and wind hazard mitigation. This will expose them to research and implementation issues in this field and, thus, enhance their scientific knowledge base to get involved more deeply in the topic to address the engineering problems of current interest. This will also provide excellent training to the next generation of workforce who will eventually be involved in the mitigation of the wind related hazards
