Collaborative Research: Travel Support for Students to Attend the 2016 Industrial and Systems Engineering Research Conference (ISERC); Anaheim, California; May 21-24, 2016

这笔赠款的目的是为工业工程领域的研究生和本科生提供旅行支持，使一批选定的学生能够参加2016年5月21日至24日在加利福尼亚州阿纳海姆举行的2016年工业和系统工程研究会议(ISERC)。ISERC是美国和国际学术界和工业界研究人员展示研究成果和交流思想的主要场所。因此，ISERC为学生提供了一个极好的机会来扩大他们工作的影响。通过参加会议，学生们将有机会探索工业和系统工程研究的前沿。ISERC还将使学生能够与同龄人、导师、潜在雇主和未来的合作者建立网络。此外，经过挑选的一部分学生将参加由工业工程系主任理事会(CIEADH)和IIE主办的博士座谈会。这些学生将有机会聆听工业工程领域的领导者就各种主题发表演讲。ISERC还为学生提供了在ProQuest索引的高质量会议记录中发表他们的工作的机会。此外，这项资助将支持来自代表性不足群体的学生更广泛地参与会议。该奖项将有助于鼓励更多的学生参加2016年ISERC。学生旅费补助计划将资助大约30名计划参加2016年ISERC的学生的旅费。这些旅行补助金将通过竞争程序发放，因此获得这些旅行奖励将被获奖者视为一种荣誉。申请将由一个评估委员会进行评估，该委员会由三个会议项目主席和一名由工业工程理事会学术系主任提名的额外成员组成。被选中的学生将有机会参加会议并参加专门为学生设计的活动。通过参加会议，学生们可以介绍他们的研究，参加关于先进和新兴研究方法的辅导课程，参加关于研究前沿的小组讨论，参加学生论文比赛，并探索以研究和行业为重点的职业道路。此外，与ISERC 2016同时举行的应用解决方案会议，展示了针对现实世界工业问题的工业工程解决方案。这次联合会议为学生提供了一个机会，让他们与潜在的雇主建立联系，探索合作，并熟悉他们未来研究的潜在应用。

The objective of this grant is to provide travel support to graduate and undergraduate students in the field of industrial engineering to enable a selected cohort of students to attend the 2016 Industrial and Systems Engineering Research Conference (ISERC), to be held in Anaheim, California, May 21-24, 2016. The ISERC is a major venue for US and international researchers in both academia and industry to showcase research results and exchange ideas. As such, the ISERC provides an excellent opportunity for students to broaden the impact of their work. By attending the conference, students will have the opportunity to explore the frontiers of industrial and systems engineering research. The ISERC will also enable students to network with peers, mentors, potential employers, and future collaborators. In addition, a select subset of students will participate in the doctoral colloquium hosted by the Council of Industrial Engineering Department Head (CIEADH) and the IIE. These students will have the opportunity to listen to leaders in the field of industrial engineering speak on a variety of topics. The ISERC also provides students with the opportunity to publish their work in the high quality conference proceedings, indexed by ProQuest. Furthermore, this grant will support the broader participation of students from underrepresented groups at the conference.The award will help stimulate broader student attendance and participation at the 2016 ISERC. The student travel grant program will subsidize travel expenses of approximately 30 students who plan to attend the 2016 ISERC. These travel grants will be awarded through a competitive process and thus receipt of these travel awards will be considered an honor by the recipients. Applications will be evaluated by an evaluation committee consisting of three conference program chairs, along with one additional member nominated by the Council of Industrial Engineering Academic Department Heads. Selected students will have the opportunity to attend the conference and to participate in activities specifically designed for students. By attending the conference, students can present their research, attend tutorial sessions on advanced and emerging research methods, attend panel discussions on research frontiers, participate in student paper competitions, and explore research and industry-focused career paths. In addition, the Applied Solutions Conference, which showcases industrial engineering solutions to real-world industrial problems, is being held concurrently with the ISERC 2016. This joint conference provides an opportunity for students to network with potential employers, to explore collaborations and to become familiar with potential applications for their future research.
