2013 Frontiers of Engineering Symposia (German-American, China-America, US, and EU-US)

该奖项部分支持将于2013年由美国国家工程院为早期职业研究人员举办的四个国家和国际工程前沿（FOE）专题讨论会：德美FOE（4月26日至28日在加利福尼亚州尔湾）、中美FOE（5月15日至17日在中国北京）、美国FOE（9月19日至21日在特拉华州威尔明顿）和欧盟-美国。11月21日至23日在法国香蒂伊举行。每次专题讨论会着重于四个主题领域。2013年研讨会的主题如下：社交媒体、柔性电子、可再生能源、智能制造、生物质转化、材料组学、复杂系统中的运输、增材制造、纳米材料、太阳能、生物mems、互联网的未来、纳米传感器、大数据、交通运输的未来和无线宽带。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30多名优秀青年工程师将参加。每个两天半的研讨会包括四个正式会议，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介绍。FOE专题讨论会为早期职业科学家和工程师提供了分享研究见解和技术的机会，以促进新的合作，并且在双边会议的情况下，加深了各国参与者之间的技术和文化理解。该研讨会促进跨学科和国际合作，并作为美国许多新兴研究和创新前沿的参考点。通过这些交流，美国的创新能力得到加强。美国FOE研讨会的论文将在美国国家科学院出版社网站http://www.nap.edu上发表。

This award partially supports a series of four national and international Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) Symposia, to be held in 2013, organized by the National Academy of Engineering for early career researchers: German-American FOE (April 26-28 in Irvine, California), China-America FOE (May 15-17 in Beijing, China), U.S. FOE (September 19-21 in Wilmington, Delaware), and European Union-U.S. FOE (November 21-23 in Chantilly, France). Each symposium focuses on four topical areas. The topics for the 2013 symposia are the following: social media, flexible electronics, renewable energy, smart manufacturing, biomass conversion, materiomics, transport in complex systems, additive manufacturing, nanomaterials, solar energy, bio-MEMS, future of the Internet, nanosensors, big data, future of transportation, and wireless broadband. About 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 includes four formal sessions, technical tours, break-out sessions, and opportunities for developing collaborative research partnerships. Sessions consist of presentations on cutting-edge research, innovations, and emerging research opportunities in engineering fields relevant to the symposium. The FOE symposia provide early career scientists and engineers the opportunity for sharing research insights and techniques to foster new collaborations and, in the case of the bilateral meetings, deepen technical and cultural understanding between the countries' participants. 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 United States. American innovative capacity is strengthened through these exchanges. Papers from the U.S. FOE symposium will be published in a volume available on the National Academies Press website at http://www.nap.edu.
