Through groundbreaking research and cutting-edge technologies, engineers are now able to go beyond traditional boundaries, doing things that would have been all but impossible just a few short years ago. A sample of these exciting frontiers is revealed in this new publication from the National Academy of Engineering, which looks at new and emerging technologies to explain how they were developed and what new benefits they will bring. The book also highlights the kinds of pioneering research and technological work being done by some of the country's emerging leaders in engineering. Topics covered include microelectromechanical systems, design research, computer-generated visualization for design and display, and innovations in materials and processes. 606 $aEngineering$xResearch$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aChemical engineering$xResearch$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aEngineering$xTechnological innovations$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aChemical engineering$xTechnological innovations$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aEngineering$xResearch 615 0$aChemical engineering$xResearch 615 0$aEngineering$xTechnological innovations 615 0$aChemical engineering$xTechnological innovations 676 $a620 712 02$aNational Academy of Engineering. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957626603321 996 $aFrontiers of engineering$93923632 997 $aUNINA
