US-Taiwan Workshop on Simulation-Based Engineering and Science (SBE&S) in Enabling Transforming Technology

OISE-0806036（Liu，Wing K，Northwestern University）美国-台湾模拟工程与科学研讨会（SBE S）在使能技术变革中的应用摘要该奖项支持美国-台湾研讨会在基于仿真的工程和科学（SBES）在使能转化技术，重点是纳米工程生物医学。台湾国立成功大学机械工程系微电子研究所讲座教授曾永华博士将于2008年2月18日至22日在台湾台南共同组织研讨会。会议将以综合的方式解决纳米工程生物医学中三个最基本的工程挑战：材料，能源和制造过程。 美国的参与者将包括15名研究人员和5名高级研究生。该计划包括对学术，政府和工业研究实验室的实地考察。该奖项源于2006年5月美国国家科学基金会蓝带小组关于基于仿真的工程科学的报告，其中除其他结论外，发现美国正在失去其在SBES中的领导地位，因为亚洲和欧洲的竞争国家增加了在这一领域的投资。研讨会的部分目的是通过刺激与台湾的新合作来应对这一挑战，台湾将纳米工程和生物医学作为优先投资领域。讲习班的部分目的是为与会科学家的后续合作研究建立共同的愿景和计划。土木、机械和制造业创新工程司理事会共同资助了该奖项。

OISE-0806036 (Liu, Wing K, Northwestern University) U.S.-Taiwan Workshop on Simulation-Based Engineering and Science (SBE&S) in Enabling Transforming TechnologyAbstractThis award supports a U.S.-Taiwan workshop in Simulation-Based Engineering and Science (SBES) in Enabling Transforming Technology, with a focus on nano-engineered biomedicine. Dr. Yonhua Tzeng, Chair Professor of the Institute of Microelectronics in the Department of Mechanical Engienering, National Cheng-kung University in Taiwan, will co-organize the workshop, which is scheduled to take place from February 18-22, 2008 in Tainan, Taiwan. The meeting will address in an integrated fashion three of the most fundamental engineering challenges in nanoengineered biomedicine: materials, energy and manufacturing process. U.S. participation will include 15 researchers and 5 advanced graduate students. The program includes site visits to academic, government and industrial research labs. The award stems from a May 2006 report of the NSF Blue Ribbon Panel on Simulation-Based Engineering Science, which among other conclusions, finds that the U.S. is loosing its leadership in SBES because competing nations in Asia and Europe have increased their investments in this area. The workshop in part aims to address this challenge by stimulating new collaborations with Taiwan, which has targeted nanoengineering and biomedicine as priority investment areas. The workshop aims in part to establish a common vision and plan for follow-up collaborative research among participating scientists. The Directorate for Engineering Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation cofunded this award.
