Intellectual Merit: 8th The International Workshop on Piezoelectric Materials and Applications(IWPMA) 2011 meeting is scheduled to be held from August 7 - 11, 2011, in Roanoke, Virginia. Thismeeting will be held in conjunction with 6th Annual Energy Harvesting Workshop, and 3rd AnnualCenter for Intelligent Material System and Structures (CIMSS) Conference. The focus of the meeting is on energy. The workshop will provide in-depth information on the application of smart materials with a focus on energy related issues. Broader Impact: The support from NSF will be mostly used for (i) enhancing student participationtargeting underrepresented minority participants, women, and high school teachers and students, (ii)registration and travel support for lecturers providing tutorial and plenary speakers, and (iii) registrationfees for returning veterans to enhance their educational experience. The participation of small businesscompanies at this meeting will be supported through NSF I/UCRC: Center for Energy HarvestingMaterials and Systems (CEHMS). The meeting will serve as both a recruiting tool and as graduateleadership training. The tutorials provided at the meeting will have strong emphasis on the involvement ofhigh school African-American students in higher research and education in Blacksburg, Virginia.

智力优势：2011 年第 8 届国际压电材料与应用研讨会 (IWPMA) 会议定于 2011 年 8 月 7 日至 11 日在弗吉尼亚州罗阿诺克举行。本次会议将与第六届年度能量收集研讨会和第三届年度智能材料系统与结构中心 (CIMSS) 会议同时举行。 会议的焦点是能源。该研讨会将提供有关智能材料应用的深入信息，重点关注能源相关问题。更广泛的影响：NSF 的支持将主要用于 (i) 提高针对代表性不足的少数族裔参与者、女性和高中教师和学生的学生参与度，(ii) 为提供辅导和全体会议发言的讲师提供注册和差旅支持，以及 (iii)为回国退伍军人收取注册费，以增强他们的教育经验。小型企业参加本次会议将得到 NSF I/UCRC：能量采集材料和系统中心 (CEHMS) 的支持。该会议将作为招聘工具和毕业生领导力培训。会议上提供的教程将重点强调非洲裔美国高中学生参与弗吉尼亚州布莱克斯堡的高等教育研究和教育。
