Support for Participation of US Students to the 3rd World Congress on Micro-Nano Manufacturing (WCMNM); Raleigh, North Carolina; 10-12 September 2019

该奖项的目的是为20名研究生参加2019年9月10日至12日在北卡罗来纳州罗利举行的第三届世界微纳米制造大会(WCMNM)提供部分差旅支持。大会重点介绍了微纳制造科学与工程领域的新发展。学生们在会议上展示了他们的研究成果，与来自美国和国际机构的顶尖研究人员和工程师交流了想法，并参观了罗利研究三角园区内涉及纳米微制造的公司。学生的旅行津贴是基于他们在会议上发表的论文的接受度和一份简短的愿景陈述。优先考虑的学生参与者是女性或来自代表人数不足的群体。这一做法促进了会议的多样化参与。该奖项通过教育和培训技术娴熟的、多样化的工程劳动力，使国家受益，使他们做好准备，为所选领域的挑战提供变革性的解决方案。这种参与支持预计将有利于学生的专业、科学和技术发展。参与者有机会培养纳米微制造的全球视野，并了解该领域的最新发展。提出了广泛的主题，以刺激学习和培训。这些领域包括：微米和纳米尺度过程的力学和动力学；机器和设备的小型化；微型工厂范式；微米和纳米尺度的计量；材料处理；多尺度建模和模拟；微米和纳米尺度制造的设计；微米和纳米添加剂制造技术；以及其他。参与的学生通过参加微米和纳米制造领域领先的国际专家的技术演示，以及与来自世界各地的同行研究人员的互动来学习。这些经验培养了新的想法和更深层次的基本理解，有助于塑造制造科学和工程研究的未来。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The purpose of this award is to provide partial travel support for 20 graduate students to attend the 3rd World Congress on Micro-Nano Manufacturing (WCMNM); Raleigh NC, 10-12 September 2019. The congress focuses on new developments in the field of micro and nano manufacturing science and engineering. The students present their research at the conference, exchange ideas with leading researchers and engineers from U.S. and international institutions and visit companies involved with nano-micro manufacturing in Raleigh's Research Triangle Park. Travel grants for the students are based on acceptance of their paper for presentation at the conference and a short vision statement. Priority is given to student participants who are women or who come from underrepresented groups. This approach promotes diverse participation at the conference. This award benefits the nation through the education and training of a skilled and diverse engineering workforce better prepared to provide transformative solutions the challenges of their chosen fields.This participation support is expected to benefit the students' professional, scientific and technical development. Participants are given an opportunity to nurture a global vision in nano-micro-manufacturing and learn about the latest developments in the field. A wide range of topics are presented to stimulate learning and training. These include mechanics and dynamics of processes at the micro and nano-scale; miniaturization of machines and equipment; micro-factory paradigm; micro- and nano-scale metrology; materials handling; multi-scale modeling and simulation; design for micro- and nano-scale manufacturing; micro and nano additive manufacturing technologies; and others. Participating students learn by attending technical presentations by leading international experts in micro and nano manufacturing, and by interacting with fellow researchers from around the world. These experiences foster new ideas and a deeper fundamental understanding, which help shape future of research in manufacturing science and engineering.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
