2009 Frontiers of Engineering Symposia (U.S., Japan-America, and German-American)

建议：EFRI-0903867PI：Janet Hunziker组织：国家工程院该奖项部分资助了由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：德国-美国的敌人(2009年4月23-25日，德国波茨坦)、美国的敌人(2009年9月8-10日，加利福尼亚州欧文)和日本-美国的敌人(2009年11月9-11日，加利福尼亚州欧文)。每次研讨会都聚焦于四个主题领域。2009年的主题包括科学发现的工程工具、健康信息学和医疗保健提供系统、前沿光学微纳设备和材料、弹性和可持续的基础设施、脑科学的突破性技术、全球气候变化建模、工业应用的新材料、知识管理的最新技术、复杂系统设计和控制、可再生能源、生物系统工程以及极端环境材料。每个研讨会都有60到100名杰出的、职业生涯早期的科学家和工程师参加。会议包括演讲者关于前沿研究、新兴技术以及跨科学和工程领域合作机会的演讲。研讨会促进了跨学科和国际合作，并为美国许多新兴的研究和创新前沿提供了一个参考点。美国之友研讨会的报告将发布在NAE之友的网站上。

Proposal: EFRI-0903867PI: Janet Hunziker Organization: National Academy of Engineering This award partially supports a series of three national and international Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) Symposia by the National Academy of Engineering: German-American FOE (April 23-25, 2009, in Potsdam, Germany), U.S. FOE (September 8-10, 2009, in Irvine, CA), and Japan-America FOE (November 9-11, 2009, in Irvine, CA). Each symposium focuses on four topical areas. Topics for 2009 include engineering tools for scientific discovery, health informatics and health care delivery systems, frontier optical micro and nano devices and materials, resilient and sustainable infrastructures, breakthrough technologies in brain science, modeling global climate change, novel materials for industrial applications, state-of-the-art technologies for knowledge management, complex systems design and control, renewable energy, biosystems engineering, and materials for extreme environments. Between 60 and 100 outstanding, early-career scientists and engineers participate in each symposium. Sessions consist of presentations by speakers on leading edge research, emerging technologies, and opportunities for collaboration across science and engineering fields. The symposia foster interdisciplinary and international collaborations and serve as a reference point for many of the emerging frontiers in research and innovation in the U.S. Presentations from the U.S. FOE seminar will be posted on the NAE FOE web site.
