Dear NATEA Members, Sponsors, Supporters and Friends:
We invite you to submit an article for the North America Taiwanese Engineers' Association (NATEA) Journal. The 2005 NATEA Journal was published in time for our January 13 through 14 Technology Summit in Taipei, Taiwan. The next one could be published in October, 2005.
As you know, the NATEA Journal is the flagship of NATEA organization that serves as a means of communication between NATEA, our members, sponsors, and friends. The contents of the NATEA Journal covers the NATEA organization, emerging technologies, and technological policies in Taiwan, the USA and world-wide.

- Wireless
- MEMS/Nanotechnology
- VoIP
- Digital Contents
- Information Security
- BioTech/e-Health
- The Start-up opportunities

NATEA was founded in 1991. After fourteen years of steady growth, we are ready to expand the coverage of the NATEA Journal starting 2005. In addition to technical topics, we would also like to cover the issues and concerns of NATEA members and their spouses.
Below are several suggested topics for the publication:

- Issues and Concerns with outsourcing from the USA
- Economic downturn and its impacts on the USA and Taiwan
- Life with a science or technology career: difficulties/enjoyment/achievement

- Chinese (Mandarin) / Taiwanese education for younger generations
Please write an article in any of these areas or any other appropriate topics that you wish to share with others. In addition to your write-up, your pictures or tables can be inserted in the text with captions of 9 pt font. The NATEA Journal Review Committee will review submitted articles, select and edit them before publication. The authors of selected articles receive a token of appreciation to be presented at the NATEA Annual Conference beginning this year.
Please make time to sit down and write an article for the NATEA Journal anytime of the year, for work or for daily life. This is a great opportunity for you to share with us your knowledge, thoughts, ideas, and concerns. It is the sharing and caring from all of us that keeps NATEA growing.
