The 2017 German-American Frontiers of Engineering symposium will be hosted by GE Aviation in Evendale, Ohio on March 31-April 2, 2017. Sixty of the most promising early-career engineers from the United States and Germany will meet for an intensive 2-1/2 day symposium on developments at the cutting edge of engineering technology in four areas: Industry 4.0 vs. Internet of Things; Streams of Water and Information: Managing Water Supply, Treatment, and Delivery in the 21st Century; Advanced Manufacturing; and Gene Editing. The event is 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. GAFOE is carried out in cooperation with the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
