This award provides funding for the continued conduct of an open workshop on decision-based design. The workshop will be conducted via a series of face-to-face meetings, and with continuing interaction between all interested parties via electronic and Internet technologies throughout the three-year continuation period. Specifically, the workshop will include the continuation of a web site for conduct of the workshop. A primary component of the workshop will be the continual, open development and dissemination of the philosophical, theoretical and practical results of the workshop discussions and activities. The workshop will continue to concentrate on a diversity of research efforts directed at the development of a theory of engineering design based on the emerging notion that engineering design is a decision making process amenable to the tools and theories that have developed in the field of decision theory. Specific goals for this phase of the workshop include continued development of a mathematically sound theory of engineering design, the building of a repository of foundational materials (a lexicon, case studies, references, text materials), the establishment of ties between decision-based design and other areas of science, and the transfer of decision-based design tools to industry. The workshop web site address will be located at: http://dbd.eng.buffalo.edu/This workshop will provide new directions for research and education in engineering design. New theoretical concepts should lead to approaches to engineering design that will enable the design of better products, products that have greater market appeal, cost less, have lower environmental impact, and that are more friendly for customers. Further, these concepts are likely to lead to entirely new approaches to engineering education, with a strong focus on engineering design as a decision making process.

该奖项为继续举办基于决策的设计公开研讨会提供资金。讲习班将通过一系列面对面的会议进行，在整个三年延续期内，所有感兴趣的各方将通过电子和互联网技术继续互动。具体地说，讲习班将包括继续提供一个举办讲习班的网址。讲习班的一个主要组成部分将是持续、公开地发展和传播讲习班讨论和活动的哲学、理论和实践成果。讲习班将继续集中力量开展各种研究工作，以发展基于以下新概念的工程设计理论：工程设计是服从于决策理论领域已发展的工具和理论的决策过程。讲习班这一阶段的具体目标包括继续发展数学上合理的工程设计理论，建立基础材料储存库(词典、案例研究、参考资料、文本材料)，建立基于决策的设计与其他科学领域之间的联系，以及将基于决策的设计工具转让给工业界。研讨会的网址将设在：http://dbd.eng.buffalo.edu/This研讨会将为工程设计的研究和教育提供新的方向。新的理论概念应该导致工程设计的方法，使设计出更好的产品，更具市场吸引力的产品，更低的成本，更低的环境影响，以及对客户更友好的产品。此外，这些概念可能会导致工程教育的全新方法，并将重点放在工程设计作为决策过程上。
