Frontiers of Engineering
- Share to:
The practice of engineering is continually changing. Engineers must be able not only to thrive in an environment of rapid technological change and globaliza- tion but also to work on interdisciplinary teams. Today’s research is being done at the intersections of engineering disciplines, and successful researchers and practitioners must be aware of developments and challenges in areas that may not be familiar to them. At the annual 2½-day US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, 100 of this country’s best and brightest engineers—ages 30 to 45, from academia, industry, and government and a variety of engineering disciplines—learn from their peers about pioneering work in different areas of engineering. The number of partici- pants is limited to 100 to maximize opportunities for interactions and exchanges among the attendees, who are chosen through a competitive nomination and selec- tion process. The symposium is designed to foster contacts and learning among promising individuals who would not meet in the usual round of professional meetings.
