On September 14-16, 2000, the National Academy of Engineering held its sixth Frontiers of Engineering Symposium at the Academies' Beckman Center in Irvine, California. Symposium speakers were asked to prepare extended summaries of their presentations, and it is those papers that are contained here. The intent of this book, and of the five that precede it in the series, is to describe the content and underpinning philosophy of this unique meeting and to highlight some of the exciting developments in engineering today.Compass series (Washington, D.C.)Frontiers of engineeringEngineeringResearchUnited StatesCongressesEngineeringTechnological innovationsUnited StatesCongressesEngineeringResearchEngineeringTechnological innovations620/.0072073National Academy of Engineering.Symposium on Frontiers of Engineering.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961687903321Sixth Annual Symposium on Frontiers of Engineering4363134UNINA
