The Next Generation of Manufacturing Engineers Program for the Automotive Sector Program awards scholarships to mechanical and industrial engineering students at the bachelors, masters and doctoral levels who desire to prepare for careers in automotive manufacturing. A total of 29 scholarships per year for four years are awarded. Scholarships are awarded based on financial need and academic promise with attention to developing a diverse workforce of automotive engineers. The intellectual merit focuses on an interdisciplinary and vertically integrated approach, that is, approaching manufacturing from a total supply chain perspective that considers the vehicle from design through assembly to customer delivery. Broader impacts includes outreach to K-12 students and teachers, and energetic recruitment and retention of women and African-American undergraduate and graduate students. Student recruitment, support and mentoring are be provided by the BellSouth Minority Engineering Program and the local student chapters of the Society of Women Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers, the Institute of Industrial Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Society of Automotive Engineers. This project ensures a supply of well-trained engineers in the growing automotive industry in the Southeast and helps encourage further development of this industry within the region, which has historically been economically and educationally disadvantaged.

汽车部门计划的下一代制造工程师计划授予学士学位，硕士和博士学位的机械和工业工程专业学生的奖学金，他们希望为汽车制造业的职业做准备。每年共有29个奖学金为四年。奖学金是基于财务需求和学术承诺而授予的，并关注发展汽车工程师的多样化劳动力。知识分子的优点侧重于跨学科和垂直整合的方法，即从总供应链的角度接近制造业，这些角度考虑了从设计到装配到客户交付的车辆。更广泛的影响包括向K-12学生和老师进行宣传，以及对妇女和非裔美国本科生和研究生的充满活力的招聘和保留。贝尔森少数族裔工程计划和女性工程师协会，国家黑人工程师学会，工业工程师研究所，美国机械工程师学会和社会提供学生招聘，支持和指导汽车工程师。该项目确保了东南不断增长的汽车行业培训良好的工程师的供应，并有助于鼓励该行业在该地区的进一步发展，这在历史上一直是经济和教育不利的。
