Seventh German-American Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, Washington, DC, April 29, 2004 - May 1, 2004

[04:15 . 36]美国国家工程院（NAE）将举办一场德美联合工程前沿（FoE）研讨会，共邀请60名与会者，每个国家30名。其基本理念是吸引来自两国的有前途的工程研究人员，重点是社区中的年轻一代，探索和讨论前沿技术的重要研究领域。德国的赞助方是亚历山大·冯·洪堡基金会（AvH）。一个由两方组成的组织委员会确定了互联网、生物工程和食品工业、过程质量测量、工程和艺术/新媒体作为重点领域。在每一个领域，美国和德国的专家都将发表演讲，报告这些领域的最新发展。该计划包括四个正式会议和为期三天的技术参观。每次会议都由演讲者就其工程领域的进展和机会进行演讲，然后进行讨论。为了促进各学科之间的交流，关于前沿研究和创新的会谈将针对技术成熟但非专业人士。该活动定于2004年4月29日至5月1日在华盛顿NAE总部举行。

0411536HunzikerThe National Academy of Engineering (NAE) will host a joint German-American Frontiers of Engineering (FoE) Symposium to which a total of 60 participants, 30 from each country, will be invited. The basic idea is to engage promising engineering researchers from both countries, with emphasis on the younger generation in the community, to explore and discuss important areas of research at the cutting edge of technology. The German counterpart sponsor is the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) A bipartite organizing committee has identified the Internet, Bioengineering and the Food Industry, Process Quality Measurement, and Engineering and Art/New Media as the areas of concentration. In each of these areas both American and German experts will be speakers reporting on the latest developments in these areas The program consists of four formal sessions and a technical tour over a three-day period. Each session entails talks by speakers on advances and opportunities in their engineering fields followed by discussion. To foster cross-fertilization among disciplines, the talks on cutting-edge research and innovation will be aimed at the technically sophisticated but nonspecialists.The event is scheduled to take place at the NAE Headquarters in Washington, DC, April 29-May 1, 2004.
