The symposium gives early career engineers working in academia, industry, and government in many different engineering disciplines an opportunity to make contacts with and learn from individuals they would not meet in the usual round of professional meetings. This networking may lead to collaborative work and facilitate the transfer of new techniques and approaches. It is hoped that the exchange of information on current developments in many fields of engineering will lead to insights that may be applicable in specific disciplines and thereby build U.S. innovative capacity. Different topics are covered each year, and, with a few exceptions, different individuals participate. The four general topics covered at the 2008 meeting were: drug delivery systems, emerging nanoelectronic devices, cognitive engineering, and countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The intent of this book is to convey the excitement of this unique meeting and to highlight cutting-edge developments in engineering research and technical work.Systems engineeringCongressesEngineeringTechnological innovationsCongressesEngineeringResearchCongressesFuelBiotechnologyCongressesProteinsConformationCongressesWaterPurificationCongressesHuman behaviorComputer simulationCongressesSystems engineeringEngineeringTechnological innovationsEngineeringResearchFuelBiotechnologyProteinsConformationWaterPurificationHuman behaviorComputer simulation620.007National Academies Press (U.S.)Symposium on Frontiers of Engineering.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958781403321Frontiers of engineering3923632UNINA
