The objectives of the award are to sponsor 20 students to attend the 5th IEEE Vehicular Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC 2009), to be held in Dearborn, Michigan. September 7-11, 2009. VPPC09 is co-sponsored by IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) and IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS). This year the conference will feature the theme of sustainability: hybrid, plug-in, fuel cell and battery technology. A merit-based student selection criterion will be adopted to select the student awardees.Intellectual Merit: The VPPC 09 aims to provide a forum for the sustainability of future transportation through the developments and applications of hybrid, plug-in and battery powered and propelled vehicles. This conference will enhance integration of research and education in power and energy engineering using the exemplary vehicular power systems. By attending technical tutorials and paper sessions in this conference, students will be exposed to state of the art science and technology in order to become leaders in future clean and efficient vehicle technology.Broader Impact: The outcomes of this conference will help reduce automobile emission to improve our environment and reduce our dependence on foreign oil to enhance national security. Far-reaching benefits for our society and nation include accelerating environmentally-friendly hybrid electric vehicles research and development; training of well-qualified workforce; and participation of underrepresented groups in vehicular power engineering, a rapidly evolving area faced with international competition. This conference provides outreach opportunity to attract more minority and female students into the power engineering field.

该奖项的目标是赞助 20 名学生参加将在密歇根州迪尔伯恩举行的第五届 IEEE 车辆动力和推进会议 (VPPC 2009)。 2009 年 9 月 7-11 日。VPPC09 由 IEEE 电力电子协会 (PELS) 和 IEEE 车辆技术协会 (VTS) 共同主办。今年会议的主题是可持续发展：混合动力、插电式、燃料电池和电池技术。将采用基于成绩的学生选择标准来选择学生获奖者。 智力优异：VPPC 09 旨在通过混合动力、插电式和电池驱动车辆的开发和应用，为未来交通的可持续性提供一个论坛。本次会议将利用示范性车辆动力系统加强电力与能源工程研究和教育的整合。通过参加本次会议的技术教程和论文会议，学生将接触到最先进的科学技术，从而成为未来清洁高效汽车技术的领导者。 更广泛的影响：本次会议的成果将有助于将汽车排放量减少到改善我们的环境，减少对外国石油的依赖，以增强国家安全。加快环保型混合动力汽车的研发；培训高素质的劳动力；以及代表性不足的群体参与车辆动力工程，这是一个面临国际竞争的快速发展的领域。这次会议提供了推广机会，以吸引更多少数民族和女性学生进入电力工程领域。
