Indo-US Frontiers of
Engineering symposium (FOE)
Indo-US Frontiers of Engineering symposium (FOE) aims to bring together
outstanding, early-career Indian and American engineers, ages 30-45, from
industry, universities, and other research institutions to introduce their
areas of engineering research and technical work, thereby facilitating an
interdisciplinary transfer of knowledge and methodology that could eventually
lead to collaborative networks of engineers from the two countries. The total
number of participants, including organizers, speakers, and other participants,
numbers approximately 60, with 30 engineers from each country. Participation is
by invitation only
In 2005, the Indo-US Frontiers of Engineering (Indo-US FOE) program was
initiated, and the first symposium was held in Agra, March 2006.
