Student Team Support for International Challenge at American Society of Precision Annual Conference; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; October 28-November 1, 2019

该项目支持32名在美国院校学习的学生，包括那些来自代表不足的群体的学生，参加美国精密工程学会(ASPE)第34届年会。学生们将组成团队，参加ASPE的国际学生挑战赛。这笔资金将为学生提供与来自世界各地工业和政府机构的顶尖研究人员和工程师以及来自国内和国际学校的学生和教职员工交流思想的机会。学生还将参加专家辅导。该项目将通过参加国际学生设计比赛和专家辅导，促进形成一批精密工程多学科领域的学生。此外，这个项目将为这些学生提供机会学习精密工程的基本原理，如何制作精密系统的原型，以及如何利用硬件编程和数据采集和分析等使能技术。参加2019年ASPE年会将让学生有机会与来自世界各地的顶尖专家以及其他有类似兴趣的学生互动。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。

This project supports 32 students studying at US institutions, including those from under-represented groups, to participate in the 34th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Precision Engineering (ASPE). The students will form teams that will participate in an international student challenge at ASPE. This funding will provide the students opportunities to exchange ideas with leading researchers and engineers from worldwide industrial and governmental facilities, as well as with students and faculty from both domestic and international schools. The students will also participate in expert tutorials.This project will facilitate the formation of a cohort of students in the multidisciplinary field of precision engineering by their participation in an international student design competition and expert tutorials. Furthermore, this project will provide these students with the opportunity to learn the basic principles of precision engineering, how to prototype precision systems, and how to utilize enabling technologies like hardware programing and data acquisition and analysis. Participation in the 2019 ASPE Annual Meeting will give the students the opportunity to interact with leading experts from around the world, as well as with other students with similar interests.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.
