2014 IEEE International Microwave Symposium Project Connect Support. To Be Held in Tampa, FL June 1-6, 2014.

拟议的项目将支持学生参加2014年国际微波研讨会(IMS)，该研讨会将于2014年6月1日至6日在佛罗里达州坦帕市举行。将与名为IMS Connect的新教育方案一起提供支持，该方案的目标是增加来自代表不足的少数族裔的学生在2014年IMS中的参与。该项目旨在培养学生参与者的技术兴趣，激励他们更多地参与本科生研究，对研究生院感兴趣，并提高他们长期的职业成功。2014年IMS会议涉及射频/微波工程的研究领域，是该领域世界上规模最大的会议。IMS在确定研究和开发的新方向方面发挥了关键作用。IMS将讨论的主题涉及相关新兴研究领域的广泛领域，从先进合成、微波设备、信号产生、新兴技术和系统应用。IMS是为数不多的产业界和学术界都有极强参与的会议之一。参与活动的学生将通过视频日记与其他人分享他们的经验，有助于提高对其他学生未来几年机会的认识。该计划还将在专业杂志上进行介绍，有可能鼓励其他会议采用类似类型的计划。

The proposed project will support student participation in the 2014 International Microwave Symposium (IMS), which will be held in Tampa, FL from 1-6 June 2014. Support will be provided in conjunction with a new educational program called IMS Connect which has as objective to increase the participation of students from underrepresented minorities in the 2014 IMS. The project aims to develop the technical interests of the student participants, motivating them to be more involved in undergraduate research, being interested in graduate school and improving their long-term professional success. The 2014 IMS meeting addresses research areas in RF/microwave engineering and is the largest conference in the world in this field. IMS has played a key role in identifying new directions for research and development. Topics to be discussed at IMS span a broad range in related emerging areas of research, from advanced synthesis, microwave devices, signal generation, emerging technologies, and system applications. IMS is one of the few conferences where participation from both the industry and academia is extremely strong. The participating students will share their experience with others through video diaries, helping to increase awareness of the opportunity for other students in future years. The program will also be described in professional magazines with the potential to encourage other conferences to adopt a similar type of program.
