From May 15 - 17, the 2013 China-America Frontiers of Engineering took place in Beijing, China. Sixty of the most promising engineers under the age of 45 from China and the United States met for an intensive 2-1/2 day symposium on developments at the cutting edge of engineering technology. The event is intended to facilitate international and cross-disciplinary research collaboration, promote the transfer of new techniques and approaches across disparate engineering fields, and encourage the creation of a transpacific network of world-class engineers.
The National Academy of Engineering would like to express its gratitude to the following sponsors for their support of the 2013 CAFOE Symposium: The Grainger Foundation, and the U.S. National Science Foundation.
