An Engineering Faculty Enhancement Workshop on: THE ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING DESIGN It is widely accepted that 70-80 percent of a product's total costs over its life cycle are determined during conceptual/preliminary design. Yet the impact of the design activity upon the ultimate success (or failure) of a product is not fully integrated with economics in most engineering curricula across the United States. The mission of this workshop is to address this shortcoming by "educating the engineering educators" in how to integrate economics and design in the undergraduate curriculum. Our central purpose, therefore, is to provide a workshop to transfer knowledge regarding the economics of engineering design to all engineering faculty who teach design-intensive courses. This knowledge was gained, in part, from a three-year multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional National Science Foundation grant entitled, "Integration of Economic Principles with Design in the Engineering Science Component of the Undergraduate Curriculum" (DUE-9155917). During 1996 two three-day workshops and a one-day follow-on workshop were funded by NSF's UFE program. In view of the strong reception for our 1996 workshops dealing with "The Economic Principles of Engineering Design," we will offer two more workshops in 1997 (each 2 days in duration). Participation in each will be limited to 25 individuals in order to encourage dialog and in-depth interaction with the workshop instructors. These workshops will be followed by a one-day colloquium in 1998 during which teaching experiences and curricular issues associated with courses presented in the workshop will be discussed by participants who have implemented these ideas at their respective institutions.

工程设计的经济原则人们普遍认为，产品在其生命周期内总成本的70- 80%是在概念/初步设计期间确定的。然而，在美国的大多数工程课程中，设计活动对产品最终成功（或失败）的影响并没有完全与经济学相结合。本次研讨会的任务是通过“教育工程教育者”如何在本科课程中整合经济学和设计来解决这一缺陷。因此，我们的中心目的是提供一个研讨会，将工程设计经济学的知识传授给所有教授设计密集型课程的工程学院。这些知识部分来自于一项为期三年的多学科、多机构的国家科学基金会资助，题为“在本科课程的工程科学组成部分中整合经济原理与设计”（DUE-9155917）。1996年，由美国国家科学基金会UFE项目资助了两个为期三天的讲习班和一个为期一天的后续讲习班。鉴于1996年“工程设计的经济原理”工作坊反响热烈，我们将于1997年再举办两次工作坊（每次两天）。为了鼓励与工作坊导师的对话和深入互动，每个小组的参与人数将限制在25人以内。在这些讲习班之后，将于1998年举行为期一天的讨论会，由在各自机构实施这些想法的与会者讨论讲习班中所介绍的课程的教学经验和课程问题。
