Abstract :
Among the key projects developed by the Engineering Committee for the American Bicentennial (ECAB) is an international conference on ¿The Role of Engineering in Technology Transfer,¿ July 12 through 14, 1976, at Iowa State University in Ames. The conference will emphasize the process of technology transfer and the roles engineers play in achieving better results. Engineers from all over the world will be invited to review the transfer process. Subjects to be covered include the determination of technological needs by less developed nations, information resources, planning and implementing the transfer, and assessing the results.
