The objective of this award will be to conduct a one day workshop with the aim of clearly defining a research program for capturing, representing, and modeling mechanical engineering design knowledge that the research, academic, and industrial community can pursue in both the near and long term. A formalized language of mechanical engineering is envisioned that will allow engineers to communicate more precisely between each other and with computers. The resulting formalized ME design knowledge and language will be encoded and implemented in an open-knowledge repository. Such a knowledge repository could capture the disparate and representationally diverse ME knowledge of typical undergraduate students providing numerous benefits, including: 1) a standard for ME knowledge; 2) a knowledge base to support engineering design; 3) a knowledge base for computer-aided tutoring systems; and 4) a key component of the ME research and education infrastructure. A convergence of artificial intelligence, engineering informatics, description logics, and the semantic web with mechanical engineering design research will be the enabling factor to realize the vision of this research proposal and workshop. If successful, the work may impact US economic and national security since a ME knowledge repository could increase the value of US graduates who have expertise beyond just the application of engineering science principles. Successful definition of a research agenda toward an ME knowledge repository has the potential for transformational outcomes. Increased awareness in the research community of high-impact research areas will increase interest in knowledge modeling. Establishing an ME knowledge repository as part of the educational infrastructure enables myriad methods and tools. The knowledge repository also has the potential to be a valuable resource for ME education research, as well as ME research in general. The networking function of the workshop will establish new relationships between individuals spanning widely across the field. This opportunity will provide a stimulus for new interactions and collaboration to advance the state of the art in engineering knowledge modeling. An understanding should emerge of the potential for this work to impact critical areas of engineering education, engineering information modeling, knowledge modeling, and the semantic web. The results will be disseminated through presentations, conference papers, and journal articles.

该奖项的目的是进行为期一天的研讨会，目的是明确定义一个研究计划，用于捕获，表示和建模机械工程设计知识，研究，学术和工业界可以在短期和长期内追求。 机械工程的形式化语言的设想，将允许工程师之间和与计算机更精确地沟通。由此产生的形式化ME设计知识和语言将被编码并在开放知识库中实现。 这样一个知识库可以捕捉不同的和代表性不同的ME知识的典型本科生提供了许多好处，包括：1）ME知识的标准; 2）知识库，以支持工程设计; 3）知识库的计算机辅助教学系统;和4）ME研究和教育基础设施的关键组成部分。人工智能，工程信息学，描述逻辑和语义网络与机械工程设计研究的融合将是实现本研究提案和研讨会愿景的有利因素。 如果成功，这项工作可能会影响美国的经济和国家安全，因为ME知识库可以增加美国毕业生的价值，这些毕业生的专业知识不仅仅是工程科学原理的应用。成功地定义了一个研究议程对ME知识库有可能转化的成果。研究界对高影响力研究领域的认识的提高将增加对知识建模的兴趣。建立ME知识库作为教育基础设施的一部分，使无数的方法和工具。知识库也有可能成为ME教育研究的宝贵资源，以及一般ME研究。讲习班的联网功能将在广泛跨越实地的个人之间建立新的关系。这个机会将为新的互动和合作提供刺激，以推进工程知识建模的最新发展。应该理解这项工作的潜力，影响工程教育，工程信息建模，知识建模和语义网的关键领域。 研究结果将通过演讲、会议论文和期刊文章传播。
