On September 23-25, the 2010 US Frontiers of Engineering took place at IBM Learning Center in Armonk, New York. About 100 outstanding engineers under the age of 45 met for an intensive 2-1/2 day symposium to discuss cutting-edge developments in four areas: Cloud Computing, Engineering and Music, Autonomous Aerospace Systems, and Engineering Inspired by Biology. The goal of the Frontiers of Engineering program is to bring together engineers from all engineering disciplines and from industry, universities, and federal labs to facilitate cross-disciplinary exchange and promote the transfer of new techniques and approaches across fields in order to sustain and build U.S. innovative capacity.
The National Academy of Engineering would like to express its gratitude to a number of meeting sponsors for their support of the 2010 USFOE Symposium.
