SUMMARY:Leopoldina-Lecture „Challenges for the Engineering Sciences”
DESCRIPTION:In a world in which the weight of expectation on the academy to
  provide solutions for the future is growing, the engineering sciences have
  a particular role to play in providing technological innovation that will 
 underpin continued social development and economic growth.  In their lectur
 e “Challenges for the Engineering Sciences”, Leopoldina member Prof. Matthi
 as Kleiner and Prof. N. K Gupta will reflect on developments in their disci
 pline from a range of perspectives. Drawing on examples from their respecti
 ve fields of research – forming technology and lightweight construction on 
 the one hand, mechanics and materials on the other – they will illustrate t
 he breadth and complexity of the engineering sciences and explore the parti
 cular relationship between basic and applied research, for example the inte
 rplay between simulation theory and experimental practice.  Considering the
  place of the engineering sciences in a broader context, they will also hig
 hlight the increasing importance of inter-disciplinarity and the potential 
 for cooperation with, for example, scholars in mathematics and the physical
  and life sciences. The question of knowledge transfer and exchange between
  academic researchers and industry is also important in this regard.  Final
 ly, they will discuss the future direction of their discipline and the fram
 eworks required for the continued flourishing of the engineering sciences i
 n the modern world, not least the support structures needed to develop the 
 next generation of engineers.\n\nKontakt\n\nDr. Ruth NarmannReferentin der
