Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) Competitive Renewal: I/UCRC for Measurement and Control Engineering

建议更新最初在田纳西大学建立的测量和控制工程I/UCRC。本提案概述了田纳西大学和俄克拉荷马州立大学之间的多所大学合作。现有的中心将通过与OSU合作来扩大，OSU增加了先进的过程控制，专注于建模和实验性的计算机密集研究。该项目包括一名来自东卡罗来纳大学的研究人员。目前的研究项目侧重于两个领域：分析仪器和过程控制优化和建模。UTK的教员参与了这两个研究领域，而OSU的教员只参与了过程控制优化和建模领域。该提案没有明确描述以前资助的中心的研究重点的变化，该中心将通过增加OSU计划来实现。业界的参与和成员具有很高的水平和被认为的实力。

ABSTRACTEEC-9908040GARRISONThis proposal is for renewal of an I/UCRC on measurement and control engineering which was originally established at the University of Tennessee. The present proposal outlines multi-university collaboration between the University of Tennessee and Oklahoma State University. The existing center will be expanded by partnering with OSU which adds advanced process control with a focus on modeling and experimental computer intensive studies. The program includes one investigator from Eastern Carolina University.The current research program emphasizes two areas: analytical Instrumentation and process control optimization and modeling. UTK faculty are involved in both research areas, whereas, OSU faculty are involved only in the process control optimization and modeling area. The proposal does not clearly delineate changes in the research focus of the previously funded center that is to be accomplished by adding the OSU program. Industrial involvement and membership are of high level and considered strength.
