Workshop: Summer School on Methods for Case, Protocol, and Controlled Experiment Research on Design and Systems Engineering; Clemson, South Carolina; May 14-26, 2017

该奖项为暑期学校提供部分支持，该暑期学校将为工程设计和系统工程领域的研究生提供密集和互动的教育体验，这些研究生对研究设计师、设计团队和设计组织感兴趣。它专门为没有这些领域课程的学生和研究生项目提供教育机会。暑期学校将把学生和专家聚集在一起，使用研究技术，如案例研究、协议研究和对照实验研究。这将为学生提供关于如何在工程和系统设计研究中使用这些技术的基本理解，创建一个研究这些问题的同行网络，并推进社区研究标准。预计暑期学校将对研究界产生广泛的影响，包括其他nsf支持的研究项目，通过提高这一研究领域的培训和标准。旅行和参与奖学金将有助于确保广泛参与，最大限度地发挥社区影响。暑期学校将于2017年5月14日至26日在南卡罗来纳州克莱姆森的克莱姆森大学举行。来自社区的专家将在包括案例研究方法、协议研究和对照实验研究在内的主题上提供指导和经验见解。主要活动包括小型讲座，以实践为导向的练习，以及学生主导的研究课题讨论。专家小组将与学生讨论该领域未来的研究方向。社会活动安排在整个两周将使学生发展他们的网络技能。将对暑期学校的参与者进行调查，以提供有关成功的信息，并可以为工程设计和系统工程研究社区中其他主题领域的类似努力提供信息。

This award provides partial support for a summer school that will provide an intensive and interactive educational experience to graduate students from the fields of engineering design and systems engineering who are interested in studying designers, design teams, and design organizations. It is specifically intended to provide educational opportunities for students and graduate programs that do not have coursework in these fields. The summer school will bring together students and experts in the use of research techniques such as case study, protocol study, and controlled-experiment study. This will provide students with foundational understanding about how to use these techniques in engineering and systems design research, create a network of peers who are studying these issues, and advance community research standards. It is anticipated that the summer school will have a broad impact in the research community, including other NSF-supported research projects, by advancing training and standards in this area of research. Travel and participation scholarships will serve to ensure a broad participation that maximizes community impact. The summer school will be held May 14-26, 2017, at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. Experts from the community will provide instruction and experiential insights in topics that include case study methods, protocol studies, and controlled experiment research. Major activities include mini- lectures, practice-oriented exercises, and student-led research topic discussions. An expert panel will discuss with students future directions for research in the area. Social events scheduled throughout the two weeks will enable students to develop their networking skills. A survey of summer school participants will be conducted to provide information about success and can inform similar efforts on other topic areas within the engineering design and systems engineering research communities.
