提案编号：0230088主要出版人：斯通，罗伯特机构名称：密苏里大学罗拉标题：工程科学和工程设计之间的平衡：工程系统和设计程序的发展摘要这个项目的目标是开发一个本科工程课程，培养学生作为设计工程师在两个或两个以上的传统工程学科的边界工作。拟议的跨学科计划，侧重于工程系统和工程设计，包括理论和方法的研究，开发创造性的解决方案，以开放式的工程设计问题。该计划的毕业生，称为工程系统和设计，将使用现代设计方法，模拟，分析和优化技术，开发安全和功能的解决方案，以复杂的跨学科设计问题，同时坚持涉及经济，可靠性，耐用性，美学，伦理和社会影响（包括法律的和环境问题）。工程系统设计课程中增加的灵活性将吸引大量不感兴趣的聪明学生。in traditional传统engineering工程programs程序with rigid刚性requirements要求.该计划还将满足日益增长的行业对基础广泛的产品和系统设计师的需求，这些设计师能够立即在机电一体化，纳米系统和生物工程等跨学科工程领域工作。

PROPOSAL NO.: 0230088PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Stone, RobertINSTITUTION NAME: University of Missouri-RollaTITLE: Striking a Balance between Engineering Science and Engineering Design: Development of an Engineering Systems and Design ProgramAbstractThe goal of this project is to develop an undergraduate engineering curriculum that prepares students to work as design engineers at the boundaries of two or more traditional engineering disciplines. The proposed interdisciplinary program, focusing on engineering systems and engineering design, encompasses the study of theories and methodologies that develop creative solutions to open-ended engineering design problems. Graduates of this program, called Engineering Systems and Design, will use modern design methodologies,simulation, analysis and optimization techniques to develop safe and functional solutions to complex interdisciplinary design problems while adhering to constraints involving economics, reliability, durability, aesthetics, ethics and social impact (including legal and environmental issues).The increased flexibility incorporated in the Engineering System Design program will appeal to a large number of bright students who are not interested intraditional engineering programs with rigid requirements. The program will also meet increasing industry demands for broad-based product and systems designers capable of immediately working in interdisciplinary engineering areas such as mechatronics, nanosystems and bioengineering.
