The proposed planning activity seeks to establish a new Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) site at Iowa State University of the existing Center for e-Design. The center currently involves six universities -Virginia Tech as lead, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the University of Central Florida, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Buffalo, and Brigham Young University. The specific needs within the Center to be met by Iowa State University are focused in the following areas: 1) information technology strategies and optimization of products and systems, 2) design education and training, 3) early stage design theories and methodologies, 4) robotics and sensor integration, 5) materials, manufacturing and design, and 6) design for sustainability.The proposed new site, in combination with the existing center plans to build innovation capacity by developing methods and tools that support the realization of new virtual simulation and design paradigms for development of new engineered products and systems. The outcomes from the center have the potential to broadly impact the public and private sectors through impact on manufacturing. The site plans to have a significant impact on students via a broad range of mechanism from curriculum to design experiences. The PI and other Iowa State faculty have a documented 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.

拟议的规划活动旨在在现有电子设计中心的爱荷华州州立大学建立一个新的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）。该中心目前涉及六所大学--弗吉尼亚理工大学牵头，马萨诸塞州阿默斯特大学，中央佛罗里达大学，卡内基梅隆大学，布法罗大学和杨百翰大学。爱荷华州州立大学满足的中心内的具体需求集中在以下领域：1）产品和系统的信息技术战略和优化，2）设计教育和培训，3）早期设计理论和方法，4）机器人和传感器集成，5）材料，制造和设计，以及6）可持续性设计。拟议的新网站，与现有的中心计划相结合，通过开发支持实现新的虚拟仿真和设计范例的方法和工具来建设创新能力，以开发新的工程产品和系统。 该中心的成果有可能通过对制造业的影响广泛影响公共和私营部门。该网站计划通过从课程到设计体验的广泛机制对学生产生重大影响。 PI和其他爱荷华州的教师有记录的历史，招募妇女和少数民族研究生和本科生。研究和教育成果将在全国范围内传播，并通过工业合作和技术转让产生更广泛的重大影响。
