Annual Symposium on Frontiers of Engineering (7th). Held in Irvine, California on March 1-3, 2002

摘要

This is the seventh volume highlighting the presentations at the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) annual Frontiers of Engineering Symposium program, which brings together 100 outstanding young leaders in engineering to share their cutting-edge research and technical work. The 2001 symposium was originally scheduled for September 13-15, but was cancelled and rescheduled for March 13, 2002, because of the events of September 11. Approximately 85 participants attended the rescheduled symposium at the Beckman Center in Irvine, California. The papers included in this volume are extended summaries of the presentations prepared by the speakers. The intent of this volume, and of the preceding volumes in the series, is to describe the philosophy behind this unique meeting and to highlight some of the exciting developments in engineering today.
