This research project explores a new theoretical approach to engineering design and integration engineering. The goal is to formulate and analyze a rigorous mathematical framework for design and manufacturability, based on clearly specified, computerized protocols using well-defined choice sets. Because such computerized methods are inherently discrete, the first step will be to examine the possibilities for approximation by models with continuous decision variables. If this is successful, and when the engineering design problem can be described by continuous parameters, then constrained optimization of a well-behaved objective function over a set of feasible or manufacturable designs would yield well-behaved solutions. If successful, this research will lead to an improved understanding of engineering design and manufacture, with potential positive impact on nearly all of industry and having potentially revolutionary impact on engineering education.

本研究项目为工程设计和集成工程探索了一种新的理论方法。 目标是制定和分析一个严格的数学框架的设计和可制造性，明确规定的基础上，计算机化的协议，使用定义良好的选择集。 由于这种计算机化的方法本身是离散的，第一步将是检查具有连续决策变量的模型的近似可能性。 如果这是成功的，并且当工程设计问题可以由连续参数描述时，则在一组可行的或可制造的设计上对表现良好的目标函数进行约束优化将产生表现良好的解决方案。 如果成功，这项研究将导致对工程设计和制造的更好理解，对几乎所有行业都有潜在的积极影响，并对工程教育产生潜在的革命性影响。
