The 2016 Japan-American Frontiers of Engineering symposium was held at the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center in Irvine, California. Sixty of the most promising engineers under the age of 45 from Japan and the United States met for an intensive 2-1/2 day symposium on developments at the cutting edge of engineering technology in four areas: Urban Mobility Efficiency, Nanotechnology in Energy Storage and Conversion, Additive Manufacturing: Virtual – Physical Processes, Big Data. 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. JAFOE is produced in conjunction with the Engineering Academy of Japan.
The National Academy of Engineering would like to express its gratitude to The Grainger Foundation for its support of the 2016 JAFOE Symposium.
