Frontiers of Engineering
November 16-18, 2017 Davis, California, USA
The 2017 EU-US Frontiers of Engineering symposium was held on November 16-18 at the University of California in Davis, California.
About 60 outstanding engineers under the age of 45 met for an intensive 2-1/2 day symposium to discuss cutting-edge developments in four areas: Technologies for Space Exploration, Next-Generation Solar Cells, Neuroengineering, and Computational Imaging. The event was 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 transatlantic network of world-class engineers.
The symposium was hosted in partnership with the European Council of Academies of Applied Sciences, Technologies, and Engineering.
The National Academy of Engineering would like to express its gratitude to the University of California, Davis, The Grainger Foundation, and the National Science Foundation for their support of the 2017 EU-US FOE Symposium.
