PROGRAM DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATIONIIP 0968982University of Buffalo-SUNYLewisThe University of Buffalo-SUNY (UB) is planning to join the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) entitled "Center for e-Design and Realization of Engineered Products and Systems (e-Design)" which currently is a multi- university center comprised of Virginia Tech (lead institution), the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and the University of Central Florida. The mission and vision of the existing e-Design Center is to research and develop methods tools that support the realization of a new design paradigm that can be used to develop new engineered products and systems. UB requests funding for becoming a fourth site of the NSF Center for e-Design under the leadership of Professor Kemper E. Lewis. The research efforts at UB will support the e-Design center's long term goal of establishing a new paradigm where products/systems are conceived and produced in a cyber-enabled domain with the full participation of all key stake-holders including designers, manufacturers, engineers, OEMs and consumers. There are three areas at UB with strong technical overlap with the current research program of the existing center. The fourth thrust, motion simulation and its application to transportation, is an excellent and unique niche for this site. The innovative projects in this proposal bridge the four thrust areas and demonstrate the potential for interaction with the other university partners. A multi-disciplinary team including six academic departments is engaged. The research will have broader impact through a strong cohort of industry partners, including medical, foods and infrastructure companies. The research thrusts identified will produce tools useful to a wide range of industries. The proposed effort at UB will contribute to the successful development and preparation of graduate and undergraduate students. Students associated with the Center will receive career development opportunities, attendance of and presentations at interdisciplinary conferences and workshops, as well as training in the ethical conduct of research. The addition of UB also contributes to the diversity of the Center, with 40% of participating faculty being women. The PI and other UB faculty will continue to recruit underrepresented students, including partnering with a number of university programs aimed at providing research opportunities for these students. The diversity efforts are leveraged by partnership with existing programs at UB, such as CSTEP, LSAMP and McNair.

计划总监的建议0968982 University university of Buffalo-Suny大学（UB）计划加入行业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC），名为“ E-Design和“ Engesign of Enginesered Products and Systems”（E-Design）的“ E-Design and Centre”中心（E-Design）”马萨诸塞州 - 阿默斯特和中部佛罗里达大学。现有的电子设计中心的使命和愿景是研究和开发工具，以支持实现新设计范式的工具，该工具可用于开发新的工程产品和系统。 UB要求在Kemper E. Lewis教授的领导下成为NSF电子设计中心的第四站。 UB的研究工作将支持电子设计中心的长期目标，即建立一个新范式，在该范式中，产品/系统是在支持网络的领域中构思和生产的，其中包括所有关键利益持有人的全面参与，包括设计师，制造商，工程师，工程师，OEM，OEM和消费者。 UB有三个领域，与现有中心的当前研究计划具有强大的技术重叠。 第四个推力，运动模拟及其在运输中的应用，是该站点的出色而独特的利基市场。 该提案中的创新项目弥合了四个推力区域，并证明了与其他大学合作伙伴互动的潜力。 一个多学科团队包括六个学术部门。这项研究将通过包括医疗，食品和基础设施公司在内的强大行业合作伙伴来产生更大的影响。所确定的研究推力将生成对各种行业有用的工具。 拟议的UB努力将有助于研究生和本科生的成功发展和准备。与该中心相关的学生将获得职业发展机会，跨学科会议和讲习班的出席和演讲以及研究道德行为的培训。 UB的增加也有助于该中心的多样性，其中40％的参与教师是女性。 PI和其他UB教师将继续招募代表性不足的学生，包括与许多旨在为这些学生提供研究机会的大学课程合作。 与CSTEP，LSAMP和McNair等现有计划的合作伙伴关系利用了多样性努力。
