Is that still true? Or can the United States remain a preeminent nation while other countries increasingly make the products that once were made in America? These questions were at the center of a forum titled "Making Things: 21st Century Manufacturing and Design" held during the 2011 annual meeting of the National Academy of Engineering. In a wide-ranging and provocative conversation, seven leaders of business, government, and academia explored the many facets of manufacturing and design and outlined the many opportunities and responsibilities posed by manufacturing for the engineering profession. This book summarizes the discussions that took place during the 2011 forum. The report concludes with a forum agenda and each attendee's biography--cSource other than Library of Congress.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2011.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aProduction engineeringzUnited StatesxDesign and constructionvCongresses. 0aProduction engineeringxEconomic aspectszUnited StatesvCongresses. 0aEngineering designzUnited StatesvCongresses. 7aElectronic books.2local1 aOlson, Steve,d1956-2 aNational Academy of Engineering.bMeetingd(2011 :cWashington, D.C.)2 aebrary, Inc.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10554798zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c91813d91813
