Is that still true? Or can the United States remain a preeminent nation while other countries increasingly make the products that once were made in America? These questions were at the center of a forum titled "Making Things: 21st Century Manufacturing and Design" held during the 2011 annual meeting of the National Academy of Engineering. In a wide-ranging and provocative conversation, seven leaders of business, government, and academia explored the many facets of manufacturing and design and outlined the many opportunities and responsibilities posed by manufacturing for the engineering profession. This book summarizes the discussions that took place during the 2011 forum. The report concludes with a forum agenda and each attendee's biography--Source other than Library of Congress.Production engineeringUnited StatesDesign and constructionCongressesProduction engineeringEconomic aspectsUnited StatesCongressesEngineering designUnited StatesCongressesProduction engineeringDesign and constructionProduction engineeringEconomic aspectsEngineering design658.15Olson Steve1956-488724National Academy of Engineering.Meeting(2011 :Washington, D.C.)Making Things: 21st Century Manufacturing and DesignMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959038003321Making things4368352UNINA
