Abstract
The 29th Cryogenic Engineering Conference (CEC) was held as a joint conference with the International Cryogenic Materials Conference (ICMC) in Columbus, Ohio, during July of 1995. The CEC is the largest regularly held conference in the United States dedicated to all topics in cryogenic engineering. This paper briefly examines directions in cryogenic engineering by considering the CEC’s technical content as represented by submitted abstracts for the’95 and past conferences. Specific comments are made about the direction of large-scale refrigeration. It also remarks on the general health of the field in the U.S. by considering the origin of the abstracts. Finally, the demographics of the overall attendance, based on nationality, are presented.
