Getting America Ready for Japanese Science and Technology Held at Washington, DC on 7-8 February 1985.
Abstract
The United States faces a number of critical issues with Japan, and the problem of America's technical illiteracy about Japanese science and technology is a cause for national concern. The Asia Program of the Wilson Center and the MIT-Japan Science and Technology Program teamed up to sponsor this conference because of a shared concern that America must be internationally minded and must fully understand its major high-tech competitor, Japan, if it wishes to be truly competitive. Scientists, trade association representatives, government administrators, language specialists, and nearly a dozen technical experts from Japan examined in a serious way common interests and capabilities. This volume contains the papers presented at the conference. Keywords: Japanese language training; Science and technology; Machine translation; Engineers; Technical; Writing; and Translators.
