The importance of manufacturing to the economic well being of a nation is well
established. Manufacturing industries, however, are facing ever increasing
challenges posed by technological innovation, stiff foreign competition,
environmental challenges, and workforce issues. The reaction to these
challenges is changing the face of manufacturing across the world. Materials
are an essential component of every manufactured component, and as such,
materials scientists and engineers must be knowledgeable of and responsive to
the rapid changes throughout the manufacturing sector. The purpose of the
Megatrends '96 Symposium is to provide a forum for the dissemination of crucial
information from recognized leaders regarding emerging directions within select
materials industries. Education leaders will describe related transformations
within colleges and universities, and examples of effective partnerships
between industry, universities, and Federal laboratories will be highlighted.
