2011 China-America Frontiers of Engineering Symposium

At-a-Glance

From March 28 - 30, the 2011 China-America Frontiers of Engineering took place at Qualcomm in San Diego, CA. Sixty of the most promising engineers under the age of 45 from China and the United States met for an intensive 2-1/2 day symposium on developments at the cutting edge of engineering technology. 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 transpacific network of world-class engineers.

Links to presentation slides are in the List of Sessions below, and links to the papers are in the Program.

The National Academy of Engineering would like to express its gratitude to the following sponsors for their support of the 2011 CAFOE Symposium: Qualcomm and The Grainger Foundation
