Support of the NRC Committee on Chemical Engineering Frontiers

国家研究理事会正在准备一项关于化学工程领域目前正在发展的知识前沿以及这些前沿为满足社会需求而提供的机会的研究报告。这项研究是由化学工程前沿委员会进行的，该委员会将编制一份文件，概述研究需求和机会，这将对国家科学基金会的项目官员和管理人员以及化学工程研究的其他资金来源有用。该委员会由来自大学和工业界的约25名杰出的化学和工艺工程师组成。委员会分成以下七个小组：能源和自然资源处理；生化和生物医学工程；先进材料；电子、光子和记录材料和器件的化学工程方面；环境保护、安全和危险材料；计算机辅助过程和控制工程；以及表面和界面工程。

The National Research Council is preparing a study of the intellectual frontiers now developing in chemical engineering and the opportunities the frontiers present for responding to societal needs. The study is conducted by a Committee on Chemical Engineering Frontiers, which will produce a document outlining research needs and opportunities that will be useful to program officers and administrators at the National Science Foundation and other sources of funds for chemical engineering research. The Committee is composed of about 25 distinguished chemical and process engineers from universities and industry. The Committee is sub-divided into seven sub-panels as follows: Energy and Natural Resources Processing; Biochemical and Biomedical Engineering; Advanced Materials; Chemical Engineering Aspects of Electronic, Photonic, and Recording Materials and Devices; Environmental Protection, Safety, and Hazardous Materials; Computer-Assisted Process and Control Engineering; and Surface and Interfacial Engineering.
