2022 Frontiers of Engineering Symposia (US FOE, China-America FOE, and EU-US FOE)

工程前沿（FOE）研讨会由美国国家工程院组织，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。新兴技术的本质，以及它们如何结合在一起创造出推动经济增长的产品和流程，使得工程师们有必要了解超越自己学科的研究进展、技术和方法。FOE专题讨论会是刺激工程创新和促进美国国内研究人员以及美国与伙伴国家工程师之间的合作网络的催化剂。FOE专题讨论会也有望提高工程的知名度，并突出工程师为社会服务的关键作用。该奖项将为将于2022年举行的三次工程前沿（FOE）专题讨论会提供部分支持。这些研讨会由美国国家工程院（NAE）与国际合作组织共同组织，面向早期职业研究人员。2022年由该奖项资助的会议有：中美FOE （CAFOE， 2022年7月，中国成都）；美国之敌（2022年9月，西雅图，华盛顿）；和欧盟-美国的敌人（2022年10月；斯洛文尼亚）。2022年CAFOE将重点关注：增材和减材制造；大数据与基因组学背景下的食品安全水可持续性;可穿戴电子产品与人类健康。2022年美国FOE研讨会的主题是：传染病诊断和治疗的进展；氢经济；技术与种族正义与平等；会话AI。欧盟-美国会议将涵盖：后锂电池；假肢和人工智能；供应链/物流;可持续建筑。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国30多名优秀青年工程师将参加会议。每2.5天的研讨会将包括全体会议，分组会议和海报会议，以及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。随着每次专题讨论会预定日期的临近，将进行大流行状况评估，以确定是亲自举行会议还是改用虚拟或混合形式。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行了评估，认为值得支持。

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 makes it essential that engineers understand research developments, techniques and approaches beyond their own discipline. The FOE 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. The FOE symposia are also expected to increase the visibility of engineering and to highlight the key roles through which engineers serve society.This award will provide partial support for three Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) symposia, to be held in 2022. These symposia, organized by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in concert with international partner organizations, are for early career researchers. The meetings to be funded by this award in 2022 are: China-America FOE (CAFOE; July, 2022; Chengdu, China); US FOE (September, 2022; Seattle, Washington); and EU-US FOE (October, 2022; Bled, Slovenia). The 2022 CAFOE will focus on: Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing; Food Safety in the Context of Big Data and Genomics; Water Sustainability; Wearable Electronics and Human Health. Topics for the 2022 US FOE symposium are: Advances in Infectious Disease Diagnostics and Treatment; The Hydrogen Economy; Technology and Racial Justice and Equity; Conversational AI. The EU-US meeting will cover: Post-Lithium Batteries; Prosthetics and AI; Supply Chain/Logistics; Sustainable Buildings. Approximately 100 outstanding young engineers for the U.S. symposium and 30 from each country for the bilateral symposia will participate. Each 2.5 day symposium will include plenary sessions, break-out and poster 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. As the scheduled dates for each symposium approaches, pandemic status assessments will be conducted to determine whether to hold each meeting in-person or convert to virtual or hybrid formats. FOE symposium papers, abstracts, presentation videos, and slides will be made available on the FOE website (www.naefrontiers.org).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
