The National Engineering Forum (NEF) is an American movement based on the idea that the U.S. engineering enterprise fuels national security and economic prosperity, but that the nation’s engineers face a series of challenges threatening their profession’s sustainability. The movement is aimed at finding solutions to those challenges, identified by NEF as the “3C’s” - capacity, capability and competitiveness: * the ''capacity'' of technical talent to fill future jobs * the engineering workforce’s ''capability'' to address 21st century challenges, and * ''competitiveness'' in a global economy Currently, NEF is working to foster national attention through a series of regional dialogues in cities that play a key role in American engineering. Regional dialogues were held in the following cities in 2012, 2013 and 2014: New York; Knoxville, Tennessee; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Los Angeles; Columbus, Ohio; Houston; San Diego; Seattle; Detroit; Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina; Pittsburgh; Chicago; Boston and Atlanta. Regional dialogues in 2015 and 2016 include Phoenix; Madison, Wisconsin; Orlando, Florida; Stillwater, Oklahoma; Clemson, Ohio and Denver, with more to come. == History == NEF was founded in 2012 through a partnership of Lockheed Martin, the Council on Competitiveness and the National Academy of Engineering. The partnership includes national laboratories, universities, corporations and other organizations that have a stake in a robust engineering enterprise. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Engineering Forum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
