Planning Grant Proposal to Join the NSF I/UCRC Laser & Plasma for Advanced Manufacturing (LPAM)

计划补助金加入I/UCRC的激光和等离子体先进制造1134835德克萨斯大学达拉斯;马修Goeckner 1134813北卡罗莱纳州立大学;史蒂芬香农德克萨斯大学达拉斯和北卡罗来纳州州立大学正在寻求加入现有的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）的激光和等离子体先进制造。该中心目前由弗吉尼亚大学（牵头）、密歇根大学安娜堡分校、南卫理公会大学和伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳分校尚潘分校作为研究伙伴组成。德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校（UTD）和北卡罗来纳州州立大学（NCSU）提出了一种协同努力，该努力结合了等离子体化学、等离子体-表面相互作用和等离子体源开发，以增强对这些系统的科学理解，制定基于基本科学理解的工业应用途径，并展示智能设计的下一代等离子设备的能力，以实现美国的高技术精密制造。这一科学努力得到了调查人员及其机构广泛和实质性外联努力的补充。这一综合努力将补充现有I/UCRC的当前活动，并扩大中心的范围，包括一类等离子系统，为未来的制造工作做出重大贡献。在现有的I/UCRC中增加UTD和NCSU将填补美国能力的空白，在低温等离子体基础科学的发展中发挥领导作用。相关的教育活动将包括传统的，目前正在进行的，推广，教育和科学的努力，吸引学生从高中到研究生水平在这两所大学。此外，由于达拉斯和罗利-达勒姆地区历史上一直是低温等离子体在工业中广泛使用的地区，该财团将能够轻松地为工作专业提供教育活动。这些活动将进一步加强目前建立和成功的推广计划和远程教育计划在UTD和NCSU，这将加速这些计划的访问到这个广泛的工业基础。

Planning Grant for joining the I/UCRC for Lasers and Plasmas for Advanced Manufacturing 1134835 University of Texas at Dallas; Matthew Goeckner 1134813 North Carolina State University; Steven Shannon The University of Texas at Dallas and North Carolina State University are seeking to join the existing Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Lasers and Plasmas for Advanced Manufacturing. The center currently consists of the University of Virginia (lead), with the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, the Southern Methodist University, and the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign as research partners. The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) and North Carolina State University (NCSU) present a synergistic effort that combines plasma chemistry, plasma-surface interactions, and plasma source development to enhance the scientific understanding of these systems, formulate pathways for industrial application that are founded in basic scientific understanding, and demonstrate the capabilities of intelligently designed next generation plasma devices to enable high technology precision manufacturing in the United States. This scientific effort is complimented by the broad and substantial outreach efforts of the investigators and their institutions. This integrated effort will compliment the current activities of the existing I/UCRC and broaden the scope of the center to include a class of plasma systems poised to make substantial contributions to future manufacturing efforts. The addition of UTD and NCSU to the existing I/UCRC will fill a void in the capabilities of the U.S., providing a leadership role in the development of the fundamental science of low temperature plasmas. Related educational activities will include the traditional, and currently ongoing, outreach, educational, and scientific endeavors that engage students from high school to graduate level at both universities. Further, as both the Dallas and Raleigh-Durham areas have historically been regions in which low-temperature plasmas are widely used in industry, the consortium will be able to easily provide educational activities for working professions. These activities will be further enhanced by the presently established and successful outreach programs and distance education programs at both UTD and NCSU that will accelerate the accessibility of these programs to this broad industrial base.
