2017 Frontiers of Engineering Symposia (US, German-America, China-America, EU-US)

工程前沿（FOE）研讨会由美国国家工程院组织，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。新兴技术的本质，以及它们如何在竞争日益激烈的环境中结合在一起，创造出推动经济增长的产品和流程，这就要求工程师们了解彼此的学科，并在这种互动中提高价值，尤其是在那些开发和使用这些新技术的人之间。专题讨论会是促进工程创新和促进美国国内研究人员以及美国与伙伴国家工程师之间的合作网络的催化剂。该奖项为将于2017年举行的四个工程前沿（FOE）专题讨论会提供部分支持：德美工程前沿（3月31日至4月2日，在俄亥俄州埃文代尔），中美工程前沿（6月22日至24日，在上海），美国工程前沿（9月25日至27日，在康涅狄格州东哈特福德）和欧盟-美国工程前沿（11月16日至18日，在加利福尼亚州戴维斯）。每次FOE研讨会都将重点关注诸如为我们的未来提供动力的能源战略；揭开大脑的复杂性；物联网；管理21世纪的水供应、处理和输送基因编辑及其应用；先进的制造;和合成生物学。参加美国研讨会的100多名优秀青年工程师和参加双边研讨会的各国30多名优秀青年工程师将参加会议。每次为期两天半的研讨会将包括全体会议、技术参观、分组会议以及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、创新和新兴研究机会的演讲。FOE研讨会论文、摘要、演示视频和幻灯片将在FOE网站（www.naefrontiers.org）上提供。

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 nature of emerging technologies and how they fit together to create products and processes that drive economic growth in an increasingly competitive environment have heightened the need for engineers to understand each other's disciplines and enhance the value in that interaction, particularly among those developing and using these new technologies. 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 four Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) symposia, to be held in 2017: The German-American Frontiers of Engineering (March 31-April 2, in Evendale, Ohio), China-America Frontiers of Engineering (June 22-24, in Shanghai), US Frontiers of Engineering (September 25-27, in East Hartford, Connecticut), and EU-US Frontiers of Engineering (November 16-18, in Davis, California). Each FOE symposium will focus on topical areas such as Energy Strategies to Power Our Future; Unraveling the Complexity of the Brain; Internet of Things; Managing Water Supply, Treatment, and Delivery in the 21st Century; Gene Editing and Applications; Advanced Manufacturing; and Synthetic Biology. Approximately 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 plenary 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. FOE symposium papers, abstracts, presentation videos, and slides will be made available on the FOE website (www.naefrontiers.org ).
