Description

This volume includes 15 papers from the National Academy of Engineering's 2006 U.S.

Frontiers of Engineering (USFOE) Symposium held in September 2006.

USFOE meetings bring together 100 outstanding engineers (ages 30 to 45) to exchange information about leading-edge technologies in a range of engineering fields.

The 2006 symposium covered four topic areas: intelligent software systems and machines, the nano/bio interface, engineering personal mobility for the 21st century, and supply chain management.

A paper by dinner speaker Dr. W. Dale Compton, Lillian M. Gilbreth Distinguished Professor of Industrial Engineering, Emeritus, is also included.

The papers describe leading-edge research on commercializing auditory neuroscience, future developments in bionanotechnology, sustainable urban transportation, and managing disruptions to supply chains, among other topics.

Appendixes include information about contributors, the symposium program, and a list of meeting participants.

This is the twelfth volume in the USFOE series.
