State-of-the-art Review Survey: Design Study Mission to Japan

这一最先进的调查奖项将派遣一个由Georgette Demes博士组织的卡内基梅隆大学工程设计研究中心(EDRC)的团队前往日本，让团队成员接触EDRC研究最广泛应用的五个关键行业的设计实践。团队将在每个地点花费两天时间，巡视并询问提前发送的一系列问题。该团队认为，日本的设计研究是日本工业中最先进的，他们的中心(EDRC)应该发挥作用，将日本研究的此类信息传递给美国工业。

This State-of-the-Art survey award will send a team from the Engineering Design Research Center (EDRC) at Carnegie Mellon University, organized by Dr. Georgette Demes, to Japan to expose the team members to design practice in five key industries in which EDRC research has the broadest application. The team will spend two days at each site, touring and asking a battery of questions sent ahead. The team believes that design research in Japan is most advanced in Japanese industry and that their center (EDRC) should play a role in transmitting such information about Japanese research to American industry.
