This issue includes repots given at the NAE Symposium in September 2010. The four general topics covered at the 2010 meeting were: cloud computing, engineering and music, autonomous aerospace systems, and engineering inspired by biology. The Cloud Computing session described how this disruptive technology changes the way users design, develop, deploy, utilize, and disseminate applications and data.

The 2010 symposium was held September 23 - 25, and hosted by IBM at the IBM Learning Center in Armonk, New York.
