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

俄勒冈州立大学将为电子设计行业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)规划一个新的地点。E-Design的I/UCRC进行研究，支持工程产品和系统开发的新设计范例，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模拟和原型制作。计划中的俄勒冈州中心将通过专注于以下领域来补充现有的S中心的活动：1)产品和系统的优化，2)故障、可靠性和健壮性分析，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。俄勒冈州立大学的中心地点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接触到更广泛的发现基础。网站的成果？S的研究成果将整合到设计、建模和仿真、决策分析和优化方面的教育课程中。学生对中心工作的参与将包括实验室和实地研究，出席跨学科会议和研讨会并在其上发表演讲，设计系列研讨会，参与跨学科活动和期刊出版物，以及研究道德行为方面的培训。俄勒冈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%的参与教职员工是女性，通常在工程学领域代表性较低。

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.
