The 2012 US Frontiers of Engineering was held September 13-15, 2012, at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan. About 100 outstanding engineers under the age of 45 met for an intensive 2-1/2 day symposium to discuss cutting-edge developments in four areas: Vehicle Electrification, Serious Games, Climate Engineering, and Engineering Materials for the Biological Interface. 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 U.S. innovative capacity. The National Academy of Engineering would like to express its gratitude to the meeting sponsors for their support of the 2012 USFOE Symposium. Click on the links below to view the presentations:
