Workshop on Design Theory and Methodology and Integration Engineering; to be held Phoenix, Arizona, May 1995

9521590沙阿该奖项为举办工程设计研讨会提供资金。到目前为止，工程设计领域未能围绕一个连贯的设计理论达成一致。然而，工程设计是一项紧张的工程活动，负责为该职业增加的大部分价值。这次研讨会将聚集大约50名工程设计和相关领域的专家，讨论获得设计理论的可能性，并为这一目标设定研究资金优先事项。研讨会将进行为期三天，它将产生一份书面文件，旨在作为在NSF设计和集成工程计划中设定研究方向和优先事项的基础。工程设计对整个国家的科技事业至关重要。工程设计理论的进步将影响到几乎每一个行业。工程设计的教学对国家的经济健康也至关重要。如果成功，这次研讨会可能会对工程设计的开展和工程教育产生重大影响。

9521590 Shah This award provides funding to conduct a workshop on engineering design. The field of engineering design to date has failed to coalesce around a coherent design theory. Yet engineering design is an intense activity of engineering, responsible for the bulk of the value added for the profession. This workshop will bring together about 50 individuals who are experts in engineering design and related fields to discuss the possibility of obtaining a theory of design and to set research funding priorities toward this goal. The workshop will be conducted over a period of three days, and it will result in a written document that is intended to serve as the basis for setting research directions and priorities in the NSF Design and Integration Engineering program. Engineering design is crucial to the entire technological enterprise of the nation. Advances in the theory of engineering design will impact virtually every industry. The teaching of engineering design is also crucial to the economic health of the nation. If successful, this workshop could have a significant impact on the conduct of engineering design and the engineering education.
