The area of research being proposed involves the management and exchange of the knowledge required to facilitate Concurrent Engineering (CE). A large element of CE involves the integration of separate, specialized disciplines. Each engineering or business group has its own valuable knowledge that it uses to accomplish its task. In a CE environment, the communication of this knowledge is of primary concern. This project proposes investigation in the interaction, communication, and integration of specialized knowledge. Each body of specialized knowledge is viewed as a knowledge source, and it is of particular interest to understand, simplify, and formalize ways for sharing this engineering/business knowledge. The project furthers VPW program objectives to provide opportunities for women to advance their careers in science or engineering through research, and to encourage other women to pursue careers in these areas through the investigator's enhanced visibility as a role model on the host campus. The proposed activities which contribute to the second objective include: visiting five northeastern universities to give technical seminars; leading a seminar series at the host institution, tentatively titled, "Intelligent Systems in Manufacturing and Concurrent Engineering;" teaching one course per semester at the School of Industrial Engineering, namely, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, and Expert Systems; and mentoring students.

提出的研究领域涉及促进并行工程（CE）所需的知识的管理和交换。企业教育的一个重要组成部分是将不同的、专门的学科整合起来。每个工程或业务小组都有自己的有价值的知识来完成任务。在CE环境中，这些知识的交流是最重要的。这个项目提出在专业知识的互动、交流和整合中进行研究。每个专业知识的主体都被视为一个知识来源，理解、简化和形式化共享这种工程/业务知识的方法是特别有趣的。该项目进一步推进了VPW项目的目标，即通过研究为女性提供在科学或工程领域发展的机会，并通过研究者在主办校园中作为榜样的知名度提高，鼓励其他女性在这些领域追求职业。有助于第二个目标的拟议活动包括：访问东北五所大学举办技术研讨会；在主办机构主持一个系列研讨会，暂定名为“制造和并行工程中的智能系统”；在工业工程学院每学期教授一门课程，即计算机集成制造和专家系统；并指导学生。
