Planning Grant: I/UCRC for e-Design: IT Enabled Design and Realization of Engineered Products and Systems

一个新的网站是计划在俄勒冈州州立大学的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）的电子设计。I/UCRC for e-Design进行研究，支持工程产品和系统开发的新设计范式，允许客户驱动的设计和产品实现以及涵盖整个产品生命周期的虚拟仿真和原型设计。 计划中的俄勒冈州网站将补充现有的中心？通过以下领域的重点活动：1）产品和系统的优化，2）故障，可靠性和鲁棒性分析; 3）早期设计理论和方法，4）制造和生命周期分析，5）成本和选择建模; 6）可持续性设计; 7）计算设计; 8）设计创新教育。e-Design中心致力于美国制造业竞争力的核心领域。 位于俄勒冈州州立大学的中心有可能进一步扩大整个中心成员公司的多样性，并使所有成员公司在电子设计领域有更广泛的发现基础。 网站的结果？的研究成果将被整合到设计，建模与仿真，决策分析和优化的教育课程。学生参与中心工作将包括实验室和实地研究，出席和跨学科会议和研讨会，设计座谈会系列，参与跨学科活动和期刊出版物，以及研究道德行为的培训。俄勒冈州州立大学加入该中心有助于该中心的多样性，领导团队和30%的参与教师是女性，通常在工程中代表性不足。

A new site is to be planned at Oregon State University for the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for e-Design. The I/UCRC for e-Design conducts research that supports a new design paradigm for the development of engineered products and systems that allows customer driven design and product realization and virtual simulation and prototyping that encompasses the entire product life cycle. The planned Oregon State site will complement the existing center?s activities through focus in the following areas: 1) optimization of products and systems, 2) failure, reliability, and robustness analysis; 3) early stage design theories and methodologies, 4) manufacturing and lifecycle analysis, 5) cost and choice modeling; 6) design for sustainability; 7) computational design; and 8) design innovation education.The e-Design center addresses an area central to the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. The center site at Oregon State University has the potential to further expand the diversity of member companies in the overall center and expose all member firms to a broader base of discovery in the e-Design area. Results of the site?s research efforts will be integrated into the educational curriculum in design, modeling and simulation, decision analysis, and optimization. Student engagement in center work will include laboratory and field studies, attendance of and presentations at interdisciplinary conferences and workshops, a design colloquium series, participation in interdisciplinary activities and journal publications, as well as training in the ethical conduct of research. The addition of Oregon State University to the Center contributes to the diversity of the Center, with the leadership team and 30% of participating faculty being women, typically underrepresented in engineering.
