Travel Support for Student Participation at the 2019 ASME-IMECE Micro and Nano Technology Forum; Salt Lake City, Utah; November 10-14, 2019

该奖项的目的是为博士后和研究生和本科生提供部分旅行支持，参加2019年11月10日至14日在犹他湖城举行的美国机械工程师协会国际机械工程大会和博览会。学生将参加ASME全社会微纳米技术论坛（主题17-15），重点是微纳米工程和科学领域的新研究。学生们将通过口头和海报会议向先进制造业和更广泛的工程社区展示他们的最新研究成果。学生旅行的资金是基于提交的海报摘要的技术质量以及学生研究顾问的声明。优先考虑女性或来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生参与者。这种方法在短期内促进了会议的多元化参与，在长期内促进了STEM领域的多元化参与。该奖项通过培养熟练和多样化的制造业和工程劳动力，使国家受益，为他们所选择的领域的挑战提供变革性的解决方案做好了更好的准备。这种参与支持预计将有利于学生的专业，科学和技术发展。参加会议让学生更广泛地了解先进的制造和工程专业，并通过获得国内和国际领先演讲者的几个技术和专业发展讲座，了解各自领域的最新研究。学生通过口头和海报演示提高他们的沟通技巧，在他们的工作与同行在他们的领域在社会范围的海报研讨会在微和纳米技术论坛的深入讨论。这种互动体验大大拓宽了学生的教育，提高了他们对研究课题的热情，使他们对科学事业充满期望，并使他们接触到创新研究的新途径。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值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 post-docs and graduate and undergraduate students to attend the American Society of Mechanical Engineers International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition in Salt Lake City, Utah, November 10-14, 2019. The students will participate in the ASME Society-Wide Micro and Nano Technology Forum (Topic 17-15), which focuses on new research in the field of micro and nano engineering and science. The students will present through oral and poster sessions their latest research results to the advanced manufacturing and broader engineering communities. Funds for the students' travel are based on the technical quality of the poster abstracts submitted as well as on a statement from the students' research advisors. Priority is given to student participants who are women or who come from underrepresented minority groups. This approach promotes diverse participation at the conference, in the short term, and in STEM fields, in the long term. This award benefits the nation through the education of a skilled and diverse manufacturing and 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. Attendance at the conference gives the students a broader view of the advanced manufacturing and engineering profession and of state-of-the-art research in their fields via access to several technical and professional development talks by leading domestic and international speakers. Students enhance their communication skills through oral and poster presentations, in-depth discussions of their work with peers in their fields during the Society-wide Poster Symposium at the Micro and Nanotechnology Forum. This interactive experience significantly broadens student education, increases their enthusiasm for their research topic, acquaints them with expectations for scientific careers, and exposes them to new avenues for innovative research.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.
