The Grainger Foundation Frontiers of Engineering 2023 Symposium will be hosted by the University of Colorado Boulder, September 10-13. About 100 outstanding early career engineers will meet for an intensive 2-1/2 day symposium to discuss cutting-edge developments in four areas: Resilience and Security in the Information Ecosystem; Engineered Quantum Systems; Complex Systems in the Context of Health Care; and Mining and Mineral Resource Production. 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 US innovative capacity.
We are grateful to our sponsors for their support.
