The National Academy of Engineering's 2012 forum, "Educating Engineers: Preparing 21st Century Leaders in the Context of New Modes of Learning," opened with presentations by six speakers who looked at the future of engineering and engineering education from their perspectives as educators, administrators, entrepreneurs, and innovators.

Manufacturing is in a period of dramatic transformation. But in the United States, public and political dialogue is simplistically focused almost entirely on the movement of certain manufacturing jobs overseas to low-wage countries. This title summarizes the workshop and the topics discussed by participants.

US Frontiers of Engineering (USFOE) symposia bring together 100 outstanding engineers to exchange information about leading-edge technologies in a range of engineering fields. Part of the "USFOE" series, this book describes research on disparate tools in software security, decoding the mechanome, and modeling human cultural behavior.

Given the growing importance of cyberspace to various aspects of national life, a secure cyberspace is vitally important to the nation, but cyberspace is far from secure. This title offers a strategy for research aimed at countering cyber attacks. It also explores the nature of online threats.
