1160985 Iowa State University; Janis Terpenny This proposal seeks support for Iowa State University (ISU) to join the NSF IUCRC Center for e-Design as a full university member research site. The Center for e-design is currently comprised of Virginia Tech (lead), Carnegie Mellon University, Brigham Young University, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the University of Central Florida, and the University of Buffalo. Iowa State University has faculty and student researchers working in areas that are synergistic with the mission and vision of the existing Center for e-Design. The addition of Iowa State strengthens the presence of the center and its role as a significant national resource capable of the following results: 1) inclusion of a multi-disciplinary viewpoint needed to ensure the development of a new paradigm of excellence in the design of engineered products and/or systems; 2) realization of conceptual modeling tools aimed at reducing design cycle time and ensuring maximum achievement of design goals for human use; 3) realization of an environment for economic and supply chain design optimization; 4) establishment of a critical mass of expertise focused on the development of an e-Design modeling and simulation software platform and virtual prototyping tools, as well as strategies for achieving simulation based acquisition. The proposed effort will contribute significantly to the successful development and preparation of graduate and undergraduate students. Results of this research effort will be integrated into the educational curriculum to enrich the student learning experiences in design, modeling and simulation, decision analysis, rapid prototyping, manufacturing, and simulation based acquisition courses. Students associated with the Center for e-Design will receive exceptional career development opportunities, as well as training in the ethical conduct of research. The addition of Iowa State University to the Center contributes to the diversity of the Center, with the leadership team and 25% of participating faculty being women, typically underrepresented in engineering. The PI and other ISU faculty plan to continue their long history of recruiting women and minority graduate and undergraduate students. Research and educational findings will be disseminated nationally and have significant broader impact through industrial collaboration and technology transfer.

1160985爱荷华州立大学； Janis Terpenny 此提案寻求支持爱荷华州立大学 (ISU) 加入 NSF IUCCRC 电子设计中心，作为正式大学成员研究中心。电子设计中心目前由弗吉尼亚理工大学（牵头）、卡内基梅隆大学、杨百翰大学、马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校、中佛罗里达大学和布法罗大学组成。爱荷华州立大学的教职员工和学生研究人员致力于与现有电子设计中心的使命和愿景相协同的领域。爱荷华州立大学的加入增强了该中心的存在及其作为重要国家资源的作用，能够取得以下成果：1）纳入确保在工程产品和/或系统设计中开发卓越新范式所需的多学科观点； 2）实现概念建模工具，旨在缩短设计周期时间并确保最大限度地实现供人类使用的设计目标； 3）实现经济和供应链设计优化的环境； 4) 建立关键的专业知识，重点开发电子设计建模和仿真软件平台和虚拟原型工具，以及实现基于仿真的采购的策略。拟议的努力将对研究生和本科生的成功发展和准备做出重大贡献。这项研究成果将被纳入教育课程中，以丰富学生在设计、建模和仿真、决策分析、快速原型制作、制造和基于仿真的采集课程中的学习体验。电子设计中心的学生将获得特殊的职业发展机会，以及研究道德行为方面的培训。爱荷华州立大学加入该中心有助于增强该中心的多样性，其领导团队和 25% 的参与教师是女性，而女性在工程领域的代表性通常不足。 PI 和其他 ISU 教师计划继续其招收女性和少数族裔研究生和本科生的悠久历史。研究和教育成果将在全国范围内传播，并通过产业合作和技术转让产生更广泛的影响。
