Support of the NRC Committee on Chemical Engineering Frontiers

国家研究委员会正在准备一项研究，研究化学工程领域正在发展的知识前沿以及这些前沿为响应社会需求所提供的机会。这项研究是由化学工程前沿委员会进行的，该委员会将产生一份概述研究需求和机会的文件，这将对美国国家科学基金会和其他化学工程研究基金的项目官员和管理人员有用。该委员会由约25名来自大学和工业界的杰出化学和工艺工程师组成。委员会又分为下列七个小组：能源和自然资源加工；生物化学与生物医学工程；先进的 材料;电子、光子和记录材料与器件的化学工程方面环保、安全、有害物质；计算机辅助过程与控制工程；表面与界面工程。

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.
