I/UCRC Competitive Renewal: Operating Center Proposal for an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center: I/UCRC for Measurement and Control Engineering

摘要：本提案旨在更新最初在田纳西大学建立的测量与控制工程I/UCRC。本提案概述了田纳西大学和俄克拉荷马州立大学之间的多所大学合作。现有的中心将通过与俄勒冈州立大学合作来扩展，后者将增加先进的过程控制，重点是建模和实验计算机密集研究。该项目包括来自东卡罗莱纳大学的一名调查员。目前的研究计划强调两个领域：分析仪器和过程控制优化和建模。UTK的教师参与了这两个研究领域，而OSU的教师只参与了过程控制优化和建模领域。该提案没有明确描述先前资助的中心的研究重点的变化，这些变化将通过增加俄勒冈州立大学的项目来完成。行业参与和成员是高水平和考虑实力。

ABSTRACTEEC-9978598HIGHThis proposal is for renewal of an I/UCRC on measurement and control engineering which was originally established at the University of Tennessee. The present proposal outlines multi-university collaboration between the University of Tennessee and Oklahoma State University. The existing center will be expanded by partnering with OSU which adds advanced process control with a focus on modeling and experimental computer intensive studies. The program includes one investigator from Eastern Carolina University.The current research program emphasizes two areas: analytical Instrumentation and process control optimization and modeling. UTK faculty are involved in both research areas, whereas, OSU faculty are involved only in the process control optimization and modeling area. The proposal does not clearly delineate changes in the research focus of the previously funded center that is to be accomplished by adding the OSU program. Industrial involvement and membership are of high level and considered strength.
