Ann M. Bisantz, associate professor of industrial and systems engineering, and Mark T. Swihart, professor of chemical and biological engineering, participated in the 14th annual National Academy of Engineering 2008 “U.S. Frontiers of Engineering” symposium hosted recently by Sandia National Laboratories at the University of New Mexico-Albuquerque. The purpose of the symposium, sponsored by the NAE, is to highlight the next generation of innovators by bringing together engineers ages 30 to 45 who are performing exceptional engineering research and technical work. Bisantz, was one of 15 engineers invited to address the symposium. Her talk, “Cognitive Engineering Applications in Health Care,” has been selected to appear in the NAE’s quarterly publication, The Bridge. Swihart was invited to attend the symposium, one of approximately 80 engineers selected from more than 230 applicants nominated by colleagues or organizations.
