This award will broaden the participation of students and those from underrepresented groups and enhance the exchange of ideas during the 2023 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences & Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (IDETC-CIE 2023). IDETC-CIE is the second largest conference organized annually by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and typically brings 500-1000 participants from academia, industry, national laboratories, funding agencies, and policymaking bodies. The conference enables collaboration, knowledge sharing, and skill development across all engineering disciplines, while promoting the vital role of engineers in society. The objective of broadening participation in this conference will be fulfilled by adding a series of NSF-sponsored events to the conference program that will actively bring together and engage students and underrepresented groups in a dedicated creative thinking environment. These events will be supplemented by a networking breakfast, in which attendees will come together with NSF program officers to discuss topics related to engineering faculty careers, industry jobs for students, increasing diversity, promoting industry-academia partnerships, enhanced pedagogy, and promoting emerging areas of research in science and engineering, among other topics. The proposed series of events will open new doors of research and creativity for students, faculty, and industry participants.The first objective of this award is to support the mission of the 2023 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences & Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (ASME-IDETC-CIE 2023) for broadening participation of underrepresented groups by offering a kick-off dinner event for 30 participants and a student networking event for 150 students. These two events will bring students and other attendees from diverse backgrounds together to brainstorm research ideas in a conducive and inclusive environment. This cross-fertilization of ideas will have the potential to inspire new interdisciplinary research directions and to provide potential breakthroughs for current barriers in the participants’ research. The second objective of this award is to facilitate the collaboration and professional development of 250 participants through a networking breakfast at this conference. This breakfast event will complement the kick-off dinner and student networking events, which will be held early in the conference, to help students and underrepresented participants feel more comfortable intermingling and subsequently learning and sharing ideas throughout the conference.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将扩大学生和代表性不足的团体的参与，并在2023年ASME国际设计工程技术会议和计算机以及工程会议（IDETC-CIE 2023）中增强想法的交流。 IDETC-CIE是由美国机械工程师学会（ASME）每年举办的第二大会议，通常带来来自学术界，工业，国家实验室，资助机构和政策制定机构的500-1000名参与者。该会议使所有工程学科的合作，知识共享和技能发展能够，同时促进工程师在社会中的重要作用。通过在会议计划中添加一系列NSF赞助的活动，将实现扩大参加这次会议的目标的目标，这些活动将积极地团结在一起，并在专门的创造性思维环境中吸引学生和人数不足的团体。这些事件将由网络早餐补充，在该早餐中，与会者将与NSF计划官员一起讨论与工程教师职业有关的主题，学生的行业工作，增加多样性，促进行业 - 学院的伙伴关系，增强的教学法以及促进科学和工程研究领域的新兴领域。拟议的一系列活动将为学生，教职员工和行业参与者打开新的研究和创造力。该奖项的第一个目标是支持2023年ASME国际设计工程工程技术会议和工程会议（ASME-IDETC-CIE 2023 2023）中的使命，以拓宽小组的参与者参加30次竞选活动，并为30个学生提供了竞选活动。这两个活动将使潜水员背景的学生和其他与会者聚集在一起，在导电和包容性的环境中进行头脑风暴研究思想。这种思想的交叉利用将有可能激发新的跨学科研究方向，并为参与者研究中当前的障碍提供潜在的突破。该奖项的第二个目标是通过本次会议上的网络早餐来支持250名参与者的合作和专业发展。这次早餐活动将完成开球晚餐和学生网络活动，该活动将在会议初期举行，以帮助学生和代表性不足的参与者感到更加自在地交织，随后的学习和分享想法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的智力功能和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被认为是珍贵的支持。
