Vision 2030: A Vision for America’s Science and Engineering Enterprise & Relevance to Advanced Manufacturing: Sudarsanam Babu¹; ¹University of Tennessee, Knoxville
    The NSB’s Vision 2030 lays out actions to achieve the four goals. (1) Foster a Global Science and Engineering Community – Make sure that America is a reliable partner and is at the table to avoid being technologically surprised. (2) Expand the Geography of Innovation: Do more to create opportunities and jobs across the country. (3) Deliver Benefits from Research: Enhance the return to U.S. taxpayers from these investments and empower the nation’s businesses and entrepreneurs to compete globally. Achieve this goal in a way to ensure a more inclusive enterprise and diverse S&E community. (4) Develop STEM Talent for America. Over the next decade, our nation must focus heavily on developing America’s STEM talent, including researchers and a STEM-capable workforce at all educational levels, from skilled technical workers to PhD researchers. In addition, the role of science and technology of plasticity with reference to advanced manufacturing will be outlined.
