2014 National Academy of Engineering Frontiers of Engineering Symposia: United States, Japan-America, and European Union-United States

由美国国家工程院组织的工程前沿(FOE)研讨会为来自学术界、工业界和政府实验室的新兴工程领导者提供了分享研究见解的机会，以促进知识和研究方法的跨学科转移。这些研讨会起到了催化剂的作用，刺激了工程创新，并促进了美国国内以及美国工程师和合作国家之间的研究人员之间的合作网络。该奖项为将于2014年举行的三个敌人研讨会提供部分支持：日本-美国敌人(将于2014年6月9日至11日在日本东京举行)、美国(美国)FOE(将于2014年9月11日至13日在加利福尼亚州欧文举行)和欧洲联盟(欧盟)-美国FOE(将于2014年11月在华盛顿州西雅图举行)。每一次FOE研讨会都将聚焦于四个主题领域。日美敌人研讨会计划的四个主题是能源采集和电力传输、灾难应对的现场机器人、生物成像和卫生保健环境中的噪音控制工程。2014年美国敌人研讨会计划的四个主题是下一代机器人技术、电池材料的前沿、页岩气和石油对经济的影响、环境和能源可持续性以及心脏技术。最后，欧盟-美国研讨会计划的四个主题是跨规模的能量存储、智能家居、用于治疗应用的蛋白质设计以及设计/工程航空航天材料。参加美国研讨会的约100名优秀青年工程师，参加双边研讨会的每个国家约30名。每个为期两天半的研讨会将包括四个正式会议、技术参观、分组会议和发展合作研究伙伴关系的机会。会议将包括与研讨会相关的工程领域的前沿研究、创新和新出现的研究机会的演讲。来自美国FOE研讨会的论文将以卷的形式发表在美国国家科学院出版社的网站上，网址是：http://www.nap.edu.

The Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) symposia, organized by the National Academy of Engineering, provide emerging engineering leaders from academia, industry, and government laboratories the opportunity to share research insights to facilitate an interdisciplinary transfer of knowledge and research methodologies. The symposia serve as a catalyst to spur engineering innovation and foster collaborative networks of researchers within the United States and between engineers from the United States and partnering countries. This award provides partial support for three FOE symposia, to be held in 2014: Japan-American FOE (to be held June 9-11, 2014, in Tokyo, Japan), United States (U.S.) FOE (to be held September 11-13, 2014, in Irvine, California), and the European Union (EU)-U.S. FOE (to be held during November 2014 in Seattle, Washington). Each FOE symposium will focus on four topical areas. The four topics planned for the Japan-American FOE symposium are energy harvesting and power transmission, field robotics for disaster response, bioimaging, and noise control engineering in health care environments. The four topics planned for the 2014 U.S. FOE symposium are next-generation robotics, frontiers in materials for batteries, impacts of shale gas and oil on the economy, environment and energy sustainability, and technologies for the heart. Finally, the four topics planned for the EU-U.S. symposium are energy storage across scales, smart homes, protein design for therapeutic applications, and design/engineered aerospace materials. About 100 outstanding young engineers for the U.S. symposium and 30 from each country for the bilateral symposia will participate. Each two and one-half day symposium will include four formal sessions, technical tours, break-out sessions, and opportunities for developing collaborative research partnerships. Sessions will consist of presentations on cutting-edge research, innovations, and emerging research opportunities in engineering fields relevant to the symposium. Papers from the U.S. FOE symposium will be published in a volume available on the National Academies Press website at http://www.nap.edu.
