A key ingredient in technological innovation is the capability of the available workforce. The systems for educating and then professionally developing technical personnel vary among leading industrialized countries. A systematic examination of these similarities and differences can lead to a better understanding of how to make this vital process more effective. Also the U.S. engineering community is currently experimenting with differing curricular approaches. This conference will bring together the experience from many parts of the world and it is an ideal mechanism for a systematic and timely examination of the education and professional development process in the U.S. The result of the conference is expected to be a better understanding of other approaches to this problem and this information will be able to be used to strengthen the U.S. system.

技术创新的一个关键因素是 可用的劳动力。 教育系统， 专业技术人员的发展在领导者之间存在差异 工业化国家。 对这些相似性和差异性的系统检查 可以让我们更好地理解如何让这一重要的 过程更有效。 此外，美国工程界 目前正在尝试不同的课程方法。 这次会议将汇集来自许多国家的经验， 它是一个理想的机制， 及时审查教育和专业 美国的发展过程。 会议的结果预计将是一个更好的 了解解决这个问题的其他方法， 这些信息将被用来加强美国的系统。
