2007 Frontiers of Engineering Symposia (U.S., Japan-America, and German-American)

该奖项部分支持了美国国家工程院举办的一系列三个国内和国际工程前沿(FOE)研讨会。他们是：德裔美国人，2007年4月26日至28日在德国汉堡；美国，2007年9月24日至26日，在华盛顿州雷蒙德的微软公司；2007年11月5-7日，在加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托的惠普实验室，将讨论许多重要和及时的工程研究和创新前沿课题，如脑研究和人类行为模拟、火箭和航空航天技术、智能和生物医学材料、工程可靠的计算机和信息系统、机器人和人机交互、能源与饮用水安全、电池和生物燃料技术等。这些会议将为分享研究见解和技术创造机会，这些研究见解和技术可能会促进合作，并成为美国许多新兴前沿工作的参照点。

This award partially supports a series of three national and international Frontiers of Engineering (FoE) Symposia by the National Academy of Engineering. They are: German-American, April 26-28, 2007 in Hamburg, Germany; U.S., September 24-26, 2007 at Microsoft Company, Redmond, WA; and Japan-American, November 5-7, 2007, at HP Lab in Palo Alto, CA..Many important and timely topics at the frontiers of engineering research and innovation will be covered, such as brain research and human behavior simulation, rocketry and aerospace technologies, smart and biomedical materials, engineering trustworthy computer and information systems, robotics and human-computer interaction, energy resources and drinking water safety, battery and biofuel technologies, etc.Between 60 and 100 outstanding young engineers will be involved in each Symposium. The meetings will create the opportunities for sharing of research insights and techniques that may spur collaboration and serve as a reference point for many of the emerging frontiers work in the U.S.
