This project will provide support for 10 US graduate students each year to participate in three Asia-Pacific Summer Schools on Smart Structures Technology (APSS) to be held in China, India, and Korea in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. These summer schools include coursework, lectures, labs, and site visits that allow civil engineering graduate students to learn about smart structures technology in an international setting. The graduate students from other countries, supported by the organizations such as KOSEF/SISTeC in Korea, JST in Japan, NNSFC in China, and DST/IUSSTF in India, will also participate in these summer schools. The summer schools are organized to provide advanced training to graduate students in a multicultural and multidisciplinary learning environment to produce next generation of experts to create and design smart structures. The environment exposes the students to a broad knowledge frontier that does not currently exist. New education and mentoring paradigms are discovered during the summer school teaching and learning experiences.One of the engineering challenges is the design and construction of smart structures. However, civil engineering graduate students are only exposed in a limited way to the wide range of other disciplines that make up smart structures technology. Seamless interaction between the fields of structural dynamics, control systems, circuit technology, wireless technology, bio-sensing, and informatics is required for successful applications. Additionally, some of the most advanced research and its applications are occurring overseas, which makes it difficult to access easily. Thus, the main educational challenges in the field of smart structures technology are: (1) providing students with the needed multidisciplinary background, and (2) familiarizing students with forefront research in other countries.

该项目将为每年10名美国研究生提供支持，以分别在2011年，2012年和2013年在中国，印度和韩国举行的三所亚太暑期学校（APSS）。这些暑期学校包括课程，讲座，实验室和现场访问，使土木工程研究生可以在国际环境中了解智能结构技术。来自其他国家/地区的研究生，在韩国的Kosef/Sistec，日本的JST，中国的NNSFC和印度的DST/IUSSTF的支持下，也将参加这些暑期学校。组织了暑期学校，以在多元文化和多学科学习环境中为研究生提供高级培训，以创造下一代专家来创建和设计智能结构。环境使学生接触到当前不存在的广泛知识前沿。 在暑期学校的教学经验中发现了新的教育和指导范式。工程挑战之一是智能结构的设计和构建。 但是，土木工程研究生仅以有限的方式暴露于构成智能结构技术的其他学科。成功应用程序需要结构动力学，控制系统，电路技术，无线技术，生物感应和信息学领域之间的无缝互动。此外，一些最先进的研究及其应用程序正在海外进行，这使得很难轻松访问。 因此，智能结构技术领域的主要教育挑战是：（1）为学生提供所需的多学科背景，以及（2）在其他国家 /地区熟悉学生进行前列研究。
