2016 Frontiers of Engineering Symposia (Japan-America: Irvine, California, June 2016; U.S.: Houston, Texas, September 2016; and European Union-U.S.: October 2016)

由美国国家工程院(NAE)组织的工程前沿(FOE)研讨会为来自学术界、工业界和政府实验室的新兴工程领导者提供了分享研究见解的机会，以促进知识和研究方法的跨学科转移。新兴技术的性质以及它们如何结合在一起，在竞争日益激烈的环境中创造出推动经济增长的产品和流程，这使得工程师们更加需要了解彼此的学科，并在这种互动中提高价值，特别是在开发和使用这些新技术的人之间。该奖项为NAE将于2016年为早期职业研究人员举办的三个FOE研讨会提供部分支持：2016年6月16日至18日在加利福尼亚州欧文举行的2016年日美FOE研讨会(JAFOE)；2016年9月19日至21日在得克萨斯州休斯顿举行的2016年美国FOE研讨会(USFOE)；以及将于2016年10月17日至19日在芬兰赫尔辛基举行的2016年欧盟-美国敌人研讨会(EU-US Foe)。每一次FOE研讨会都将聚焦于四个主题领域。2016年USFOE研讨会的四个主题是高保真图形的可伸缩算法和软件、根除癌症的技术、水淡化和净化以及极端工程。2016年JAFOE研讨会的四个主题是先进的3D打印；能源生产、储存和效率方面的纳米技术；大数据；以及城市交通效率。最后，2016年欧盟-美国敌人研讨会的四个主题是碳捕获、利用和储存；个人健康的信息和计算机技术；集成光电子制造；以及智能交通系统。参加美国敌人研讨会的约100名优秀青年工程师和参加双边研讨会的每个国家30名。每个为期两天半的研讨会将包括四个正式会议、技术参观、分组会议和发展合作研究伙伴关系的机会。会议将包括与研讨会相关的工程领域的前沿研究、创新和新出现的研究机会的演讲。来自美国科学院研讨会的论文将以卷的形式发表在美国国家科学院新闻网站上，网址为http://www.nap.edu.。

The Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) Symposia, organized by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), provide emerging engineering leaders from academia, industry, and government laboratories the opportunity to share research insights to facilitate an interdisciplinary transfer of knowledge and research methodologies. The nature of emerging technologies and how they fit together to create products and processes that drive economic growth in an increasingly competitive environment have heightened the need for engineers to understand each other's disciplines and enhance the value in that interaction, particularly among those developing and using these new technologies. The symposia serve as a catalyst to spur engineering innovation and foster collaborative networks of researchers within the United States and between engineers from the United States and partnering countries.This award provides partial support for three FOE Symposia, to be held in 2016, organized by the NAE for early career researchers: the 2016 Japan-America FOE Symposium (JAFOE) to be held on June 16-18, 2016, in Irvine, California; the 2016 U.S. FOE Symposium (USFOE) to be held on September 19-21, 2016, in Houston, Texas; and the 2016 European Union-U.S. FOE Symposium (EU-US FOE) to be held on October 17-19, 2016, in Helsinki, Finland. Each FOE symposium will focus on four topical areas. The four topics for the 2016 USFOE Symposium are scalable algorithms and software for high-fidelity graphics, technologies for eradicating cancer, water desalination and purification, and extreme engineering. The four topics for the 2016 JAFOE Symposium are advanced 3D printing; nanotechnology in energy generation, storage and efficiency; big data; and urban mobility efficiency. Finally, the four topics for the 2016 EU-US FOE Symposium are carbon capture, utilization, and storage; information and computer technologies for personal health; integrated photonics manufacturing; and intelligent transportation systems. About 100 outstanding young engineers for the US FOE Symposium and 30 from each country for the bilateral symposia will participate. Each two and one-half day symposium will include four formal sessions, technical tours, break-out sessions, and opportunities for developing collaborative research partnerships. Sessions will consist of presentations on cutting-edge research, innovations, and emerging research opportunities in engineering fields relevant to the symposium. Papers from the USFOE Symposium will be published in a volume available on the National Academies Press website at http://www.nap.edu.
