This award supports the NSF goal to achieve excellence in US 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 a premier conference in engineering and systems design. The essay assignment challenges students to consider the effect of global competitiveness on engineering design practices, particularly in light of complex systems, and to articulate their vision for the future of engineering and systems design. This exercise promotes the type of thinking skills necessary for innovators and researchers in engineering. The conference experience promotes 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 promote undergraduate and graduate student professional development in engineering and systems design through an essay competition and support for travel to a research 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. The competition will be publicized broadly, with students from a variety of engineering disciplines encouraged to compete. They will communicate their thoughts on the competition topic in an essay that 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 conference to give the students an opportunity to interact with researchers and discuss their ideas on the future of engineering design of complex systems. Winning essays will be featured on a website so that they are accessible to a broad audience.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.

该奖项支持NSF的目标，即在各个层面上实现美国科学，数学，工程和技术教育方面的卓越目标，并将为年轻人提供机会，以吸引他们并为科学，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首要会议。论文作业挑战学生考虑全球竞争力对工程设计实践的影响，尤其是在复杂系统的情况下，并阐明他们对工程和系统设计的未来的愿景。该练习促进了工程学领域的创新者和研究人员所需的思维技能类型。会议经验促进了个别学生的增长，还可以在同龄人之间共享这些知识时，可以增强学生家庭机构研究的整体研究质量。该奖项的目的是通过论文竞赛和对参加研究会议的旅行的支持来促进工程和系统设计方面的本科和研究生专业发展。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。竞赛将广泛宣传，鼓励来自各种工程学科的学生参加比赛。他们将在一篇文章中传达他们对竞争主题的想法，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。会议将在会议上组织海报会议，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。赢得论文将在网站上展出，以便广泛的受众群体可以访问它们。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
