The 2014 Indo-American Frontiers of Engineering was held May 19-21, at the Infosys Center in Mysore, India. 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: Biomaterials, Water Resource Management in the Face of Climate Change, Green Approaches to Communications, and Engineering in the Context of Big Data. The event facilitates international and cross-disciplinary research collaboration, promotes the transfer of new techniques and approaches across disparate engineering fields, and encourages the creation of a transatlantic 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 our sponsor of this meeting, the Indo-US Science & Technology Forum.
