2018 Frontiers of Engineering Symposia (US FOE and Japan-America FOE)

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。该奖项将为两场工程前沿（FOE）研讨会提供部分支持，该研讨会将于2018年举行，由美国国家工程院（NAE）为早期职业研究人员组织：日美FOE将于2018年6月18日至20日在日本筑波举行，美国FOE将于2018年9月5日至7日在马萨诸塞州列克星敦由麻省理工学院林肯实验室主办。2018年美国FOE研讨会将重点关注量子计算、弹性和可靠的基础设施、治疗学：诊断+治疗以及人道主义援助和救灾技术。2018年JAFOE研讨会将重点关注先进人工智能，水处理革命，仿生学和假肢，智能结构和材料。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。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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 will provide partial support for two Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) symposia, to be held in 2018, organized by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) for early career researchers: the Japan-America FOE to be held in Tsukuba, Japan on June 18-20, 2018 and the US FOE to be hosted by MIT Lincoln Lab in Lexington, Massachusetts on September 5-7, 2018. The 2018 US FOE symposium will focus on Quantum Computing, Resilient and Reliable Infrastructure, Theranostics: Diagnostics+Therapy, and Technology for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief. The 2018 JAFOE symposium will focus on Advanced AI, The Water Treatment Revolution, Bionics and Prosthetics, Smart Structures and Materials. 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 ).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
