2017 Frontiers of Engineering Symposia (US, German-America, China-America, EU-US)

由美国国家工程院组织的工程前沿（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，创造出在竞争日益激烈的环境中推动经济增长的产品和工艺，这使得工程师们更加需要了解彼此的学科，并提高这种互动的价值，特别是在那些开发和使用这些新技术的人中。研讨会作为一种催化剂，以刺激工程创新和促进美国境内的研究人员和来自美国和合作国家的工程师之间的合作网络。该奖项为将于2017年举办的四场工程前沿（FOE）研讨会提供部分支持：德美工程前沿（3月31日至4月2日，在俄亥俄州的埃克斯维尔），中美工程前沿（6月22日至24日，上海），美国工程前沿（9月25日至27日，在东哈特福德，康涅狄格州），和欧盟-美国工程前沿（11月16日至18日，在戴维斯，加州）。每一个FOE研讨会将集中在主题领域，如能源战略，为我们的未来提供动力;解开大脑的复杂性;物联网;管理供水，处理和交付在21世纪;基因编辑和应用;先进制造;和合成生物学。参加美国研讨会的约100名优秀青年工程师和参加双边研讨会的30名优秀青年工程师将参加。每次为期两天半的研讨会将包括全体会议、技术图尔斯参观、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，创新和新兴研究机会的演讲。FOE研讨会论文、摘要、演示视频和幻灯片将在FOE网站（www.naefrontiers.org）上提供。

The Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) Symposia, organized by the National Academy of Engineering, 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 four Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) symposia, to be held in 2017: The German-American Frontiers of Engineering (March 31-April 2, in Evendale, Ohio), China-America Frontiers of Engineering (June 22-24, in Shanghai), US Frontiers of Engineering (September 25-27, in East Hartford, Connecticut), and EU-US Frontiers of Engineering (November 16-18, in Davis, California). Each FOE symposium will focus on topical areas such as Energy Strategies to Power Our Future; Unraveling the Complexity of the Brain; Internet of Things; Managing Water Supply, Treatment, and Delivery in the 21st Century; Gene Editing and Applications; Advanced Manufacturing; and Synthetic Biology. Approximately 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 will include plenary 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. FOE symposium papers, abstracts, presentation videos, and slides will be made available on the FOE website (www.naefrontiers.org ).
