This volume includes papers from the National Academy of Engineering's 1996 US Frontiers of Engineering (USFOE) Symposium held in September 1996. USFOE meetings bring together 100 outstanding engineers (ages 30 to 45) to exchange information about leading-edge technologies in a range of engineering fields. The 1996 symposium covered four topic areas: Design research, Visualization for design and display, Micro-electro-mechanical syatems (MEMS), and Innovations in materials and processes. Appendixes include information about contributors, the symposium program, and a list of meeting participants.
