The 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, the University of Central Florida, and Carnegie Mellon University. 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 site of the NSF Center for e-Design under the leadership of Professor Kemper E. Lewis. The NSF multi-university IUCRC for e-Design addresses the science and engineering challenges that limit the evolution of a new product/system design approaches that are essential for efficient, rapid and reliable design and manufacture in a highly competitive global environment. The University of Buffalo Site brings emphasis in product visualization and simulation, immersive environments, decision networks, information technology to support design decision making, and motion simulation to the existing center. 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. A multi-disciplinary team including eight 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 38% 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.

布法罗-纽约州立大学（UB）正计划加入工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC），名为“工程产品和系统的电子设计和实现中心（电子设计）”，该中心目前是一个多大学中心，由弗吉尼亚理工大学（牵头机构）、马萨诸塞大学-阿默斯特分校、中央佛罗里达大学和卡内基梅隆大学组成。现有的电子设计中心的使命和愿景是研究和开发方法工具，支持实现新的设计范式，可用于开发新的工程产品和系统。UB要求成为一个网站的NSF中心电子设计教授肯珀E。刘易斯。NSF多大学IUCRC电子设计解决了限制新产品/系统设计方法发展的科学和工程挑战，这些方法对于在竞争激烈的全球环境中进行高效，快速和可靠的设计和制造至关重要。布法罗大学的网站带来了产品可视化和模拟，沉浸式环境，决策网络，信息技术，以支持设计决策，运动模拟到现有的中心的重点。UB的研究工作将支持e-Design中心的长期目标，即建立一个新的范式，在该范式中，产品/系统在网络支持的领域中构思和生产，所有关键的知识产权持有者（包括设计师，制造商，工程师，OEM和消费者）都充分参与。一个多学科的团队，包括八个学术部门参与。该研究将通过一批强大的行业合作伙伴产生更广泛的影响，包括医疗，食品和基础设施公司。确定的研究重点将产生对广泛行业有用的工具。UB的拟议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，出席跨学科会议和研讨会并进行演讲，以及在研究道德行为方面的培训。UB的加入也有助于中心的多样性，参与教师的38%是女性。PI和其他UB教师将继续招收代表性不足的学生，包括与一些旨在为这些学生提供研究机会的大学项目合作。
