Student Poster Symposium at the ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (ASME-IMECE); Vancouver, Canada; November 12-18, 2010

该奖项支持约40名学生参加将于2010年11月12日至18日在加拿大温哥华举行的2010年美国机械工程师学会国际机械工程大会和博览会。学生们将通过一份广为流传的公告被告知这一资助机会，他们将被要求提交一份简短的简历，一页长的为什么想要参加大会的解释，以及他们的教师导师的支持声明。申请者将由一组教师根据他们参加大会的兴趣、他们对参加会议提供的机会的理解以及他们的教师导师的支持信来选择支持。学生还将在学生海报座谈会上展示他们的研究成果。预计这个机会将加强对参与其中的学生的教育，他们也将成为其他人的榜样。选择支持学生的目标将包括多样性，这将进一步加强这种支持的好处。

This award provides support for approximately 40 students to attend the 2010 American Society of Mechanical Engineers International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, which will be held in Vancouver, Canada, November 12-18, 2010. Students will be notified of the funding opportunity through a broadly circulated announcement, and they will be asked to submit a brief resume, a one-page explanation of why they want to attend the Congress and a supporting statement from their faculty advisor. Applicants will be selected for support by a group of faculty based on their interest in attending the Congress, their understanding of the opportunities that attendance offers, and the letter of support from their faculty advisor. Students will also be expected to present their research in a student poster symposium.It is expected that this opportunity will enhance the education of the involved students, who will serve as role models for others as well. A goal in the selection of the students for support will include diversity, which will further enhance the benefits of this support.
