This award supports the NSF goal to 'achieve excellence in U.S. Science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education at all levels', and will 'provide opportunities for young people that will attract them to and prepare them for careers in science, mathematics, and engineering'. Through a student essay competition, undergraduate and graduate students will be selected to attend two premier conferences in engineering and systems design. The competition will be widely advertised through the conference websites of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and to researchers in engineering design. Posing the essay assignment as an exercise by an industry employee requires the students to consider the effect of global competitiveness on engineering design practices, particularly in light of complex systems. Conference experiences promote growth in individual students and can also serve to strengthen the overall research quality of the research at the student's home institution when this knowledge is shared among their peers. The objective of this award is to support undergraduate and graduate student attendance at the annual ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC) and the AIAA Multidisciplinary Analysis and Optimization (MAO) Conference. A secondary objective is to encourage students to think deeply about what engineering design of complex systems will be like 20-30 years in the future. Students will communicate their thoughts on this topic in an essay which will be judged by a distinguished group of engineering design researchers and educators. Travel funds will be provided for students who are selected through the design essay competition. A poster session will be organized at the conferences to give the students an opportunity to interact with researchers and discuss their ideas on the future of engineering design of complex systems.

该奖项支持NSF的目标，即在各个层面上实现卓越的美国科学，数学，工程和技术教育，并将“为年轻人提供机会，从而为他们吸引他们并为科学，数学和工程学的职业做好准备》。通过学生论文竞赛，将选择本科生和研究生参加工程和系统设计的两个首要会议。 比赛将通过美国机械工程师学会（ASME）和美国航空和宇航学研究所（AIAA）以及工程设计研究人员的会议网站广泛宣传。提出论文作业作为行业员工的练习，要求学生考虑全球竞争力对工程设计实践的影响，尤其是鉴于复杂的系统。会议经验促进了个别学生的成长，当他们在同龄人之间共享这些知识时，也可以加强学生家中研究的整体研究质量。该奖项的目的是支持本科和研究生参加年度ASME国际设计工程技术会议（IDETC）和AIAA多学科分析与优化（MAO）会议（MAO）会议。次要目标是鼓励学生深入思考复杂系统的哪种工程设计将来将来有20 - 30年。学生将在一篇文章中传达他们对此主题的想法，该论文将由杰出的工程设计研究人员和教育工作者判断。通过设计论文竞赛选择的学生将提供旅行资金。海报会议将在会议上组织，以使学生有机会与研究人员进行互动，并讨论他们对复杂系统工程设计的未来的想法。
