Conference: FRONTIERS OF ENGINEERING (2024 US FOE, 2024 China-America FOE, and 2025 German-American 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项目有潜力通过支持创新和提高工程的可见度以及工程师服务社会的重要方式来造福社会。该奖项将为将于2024年和2025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。由该奖项资助的2024/5年度会议有：中美之友（2024年6月，加州欧文）；美国之敌（2024年9月；加州欧文）；和德美敌人（2025年3月；橡树岭，田纳西州）。2024年中美战略之战将重点关注：能源转型与挑战、交通领域的人工智能、健康领域的纳米技术、海洋经济工程。2024年美国FOE研讨会的主题是：数字双胞胎，建筑环境的微生物组，肠脑连接，生成人工智能。2025年德美FOE会议的议题尚未确定。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。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 program has the potential to benefit society both by supporting innovation and by increasing the visibility of engineering and the important ways in which engineers serve society.This award will provide partial support for three Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) symposia, to be held in 2024 and 2025. 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 2024/5 are: China-America FOE (June, 2024; Irvine, CA); US FOE (September, 2024; Irvine, CA); and German-American FOE (March, 2025; Oak Ridge, TN). The 2024 China-America FOE will focus on: Energy Transitions and Challenges, AI for Transportation, Nanotechnology for Health, Engineering the Ocean Economy. Topics for the 2024 US FOE symposium are: Digital Twins, Microbiome of the Built Environment, Gut-Brain Connection, Generative AI. The topics for the German-American FOE meeting in 2025 are yet to be determined. 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. 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.
