The purpose of this project is to provide financial assistance to engineering students to attend the 2002 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE), sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) International. The focus of the conference will center around theoretical issues, engineering methodologies, and industrial applications in various areas of Mechanical Engineering, including Dynamic Systems and Control. The primary goal of this project is to expose students to current advances in Dynamic Systems and Control. Furthermore, it is hoped that DSCD Student members will become and maintain active participation in ASME DSCD activities. As part of a new initiative of the ASME Dynamic System and Control Division (DSCD), the PI will organize travel support for DSCD student attendees, in the form of IMECE 2002 Student Travel Grants. These grants will be advertised nationally.
