Collaborative Research: Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for e-Design: IT Enabled Design and Realization of Engineered Products and Systems

匹兹堡大学和马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校联合成立了一个工业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)，用于工程产品和系统的电子设计和实现。该中心将成为IT支持的离散制造产品设计和实现的卓越中心，它设想信息是企业的命脉，协作是无缝集成世界各地产品的设计、开发、测试、制造和服务的标志。

The University of Pittsburgh and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst have joined to establish an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for e-Design and Realization of Engineered Products and Systems. The Center will serve as a center of excellence in IT enabled design and realization of discrete manufactured products by envisioning that information is the lifeblood of an enterprise and collaboration is the hallmark that seamlessly integrated design, development, testing, manufacturing, and servicing of products around the world.
