Through groundbreaking research and new technologies, engineers are able to go beyond traditional boundaries to do things that would have been all but impossible just a few years ago. This book, the most recent in a series of publications, describes new and emerging technologies and explains how they were developed and the benefits they will bring. It also offers highlights of the pioneering research and technological work being done by some of the country's emerging leaders in engineering. Topics include biomechanics, sensors and control for manufacturing processes, safety and security issues, decisionmaking tools for design and manufacturing, and intelligent transportation systems.", url = "https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/6041/frontiers-of-engineering-reports-on-leading-edge-engineering-from-the", year = 1998, publisher = "The National Academies Press", address = "Washington, DC" }
