The objective of this award will be to conduct three one day workshop in conjunction with the 2011 NSF Engineering Research and Innovation Conference sponsored by NSF's Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI). The overarching theme of these workshops is the investigation of fundamental questions in systems and modeling, with the goal of identifying knowledge gaps that require further research pursuit. The Hot Topics in Engineering Design Workshop will further advance the fundamental theory of systems engineering through examination of model-based design, value-centric design for adaptability, and by placing a rigorous footing under systems engineering processes. The investigation embodied in this workshop is a necessary step in a major research program examining fundamental issues in the design of large complex systems. The Workshop on New Directions in Dynamical Systems Inspired by Biological, Energy, Environmental, and Information Sciences, will further advance uncertainty quantification (UQ) and data driven dynamical systems (DDDS); dynamical systems in biomechanics/biomimetics, and energy generation/distribution systems; and identify new directions for research in dynamical systems. The Workshop on Challenges and Opportunities for Research in Multiscale Modeling in Mechanics and Materials (M4), aims to attain a systematic rationale, which is scientifically rigorous, to the field of multiscale modeling in mechanics and materials, as opposed to the present approaches that are largely heuristic in nature. These workshops will produce research agenda aimed at significantly advancing the respective fields in systems and modeling.Each of these workshops will be strengthened by inviting a culturally diverse group of researchers and practitioners, and will offer travel stipends to a number of graduate students as well, thereby enabling these researchers of the future to frame their research with the latest and most cutting-edge insights in their field. Additionally, the topics identified by each workshop have broad and sweeping impact across numerous fields, from energy, to defense, to manufacturing - all identified as Grand Challenges for the next century. The critical investigations of each workshop into existing practice and potentials for future research in each area, suggest tremendous possibilities for impacting industrial practice across these fields. The workshops will encourage interaction of the communities involved, with presentations by thought leaders in the respective fields, emphasis on discussion and interaction, and encouragement of participation by graduate students. Each workshop will produce a report that will provide a complete and balanced result of discussions, along with a collection of key research questions and research proposal directions for future consideration. Additionally, results from the workshops will be disseminated through presentations, conference papers, and journal articles.

该奖项的目标是在NSF的土木、机械和制造创新部门(CMMI)赞助的2011年NSF工程研究和创新会议的同时，举办三个为期一天的研讨会。这些讲习班的首要主题是调查系统和建模中的基本问题，目的是查明需要进一步研究的知识差距。工程设计中的热点问题研讨会将通过审查基于模型的设计、以价值为中心的适应性设计以及在系统工程过程中建立严格的基础来进一步推进系统工程的基本理论。本研讨会所包含的调查是研究大型复杂系统设计中的基本问题的主要研究计划中的必要步骤。受生物、能源、环境和信息科学启发的动力系统新方向研讨会将进一步推进不确定性量化(UQ)和数据驱动动力系统(DDDS)；生物力学/仿生和能源产生/分配系统中的动力系统；并确定动力系统研究的新方向。力学和材料多尺度建模研究的挑战和机遇讲习班(M4)旨在为力学和材料多尺度建模领域建立科学严谨的系统理论基础，而不是目前基本上是启发式的方法。这些研讨会将产生旨在显著推进系统和模型各自领域的研究议程。每个研讨会都将通过邀请不同文化背景的研究人员和实践者团体来加强，并将向一些研究生提供旅行津贴，从而使这些未来的研究人员能够利用各自领域最新和最尖端的见解来构建他们的研究框架。此外，每个研讨会确定的主题将对从能源、国防到制造的众多领域产生广泛和广泛的影响--所有这些都被确定为下个世纪的重大挑战。每个研讨会对每个领域的现有实践和未来研究潜力进行的批判性调查表明，在这些领域影响工业实践的可能性极大。研讨会将鼓励相关社区的互动，由各自领域的思想领袖发表演讲，强调讨论和互动，并鼓励研究生参与。每个研讨会将产生一份报告，提供完整和平衡的讨论结果，以及一系列关键的研究问题和研究建议方向，供未来审议。此外，研讨会的成果将通过演讲、会议论文和期刊文章进行传播。
