Everything about National Academy Of Engineering totally explained

The United States National Academy of Engineering (NAE) is a private, non-profit institution which was founded in 1964, under the same congressional act that led to the founding of the National Academy of Sciences, signed by President Abraham Lincoln, in 1863. The current president is Charles Vest. The NAE has more than 2,000 peer-elected members and foreign associates, senior professionals in business, academia, and government who are among the world’s most accomplished engineers. The National Academy of Engineering is part of the United States National Academies, which also includes:

Major Prizes from the National Academy of Engineering

The Academy annually awards three prizes that award $500,000 to the winner. In a sense these constitute the "Nobel Prizes of Engineering." The three prizes are the
  • Gordon Prize for engineering education,
  • Russ Prize currently given for work in bioengineering, and
  • Charles Stark Draper Prize, to honor those who have contributed to the advancement of engineering.

    Programs and Studies by the National Academy of Engineering

  • Grand Challenges of Engineering
  • Frontiers of Engineering: The Frontiers of Engineering program brings together through three-day meetings a select group of emerging engineering leaders from industry, academe, and government labs to discuss pioneering technical work and leading edge research in various engineering fields and industry sectors. The goal of the meetings is to introduce these outstanding engineers (ages 30-45) to each other, and through this interaction facilitate collaboration in engineering, the transfer of new techniques and approaches across fields, and establishment of contacts among the next generation of engineering leaders. There are three Frontiers of Engineering meetings every year: the U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, the German-American Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, and the Japan-America Frontiers of Engineering Symposium. The Indo-U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Symposium is held every other year.Further Information
