Workshop : Summer School on Decision-Making in Design and Systems Engineering; University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California; June 18-22, 2018

该奖项将为暑期班提供部分支持，该暑期班将为对在工程设计和系统工程背景下学习决策感兴趣的研究生提供密集和互动的教育体验。它的具体目的是为研究生课程的学生提供教育机会，这些学生在这方面没有适当的课程。暑期班将涵盖理论和实践问题。它将为学生提供关于如何在设计和系统工程中进行决策研究的基础知识，创建一个研究这些问题的同行网络，并提高社区研究标准。预计暑期班将通过提高这一研究领域的培训和标准，在研究界产生广泛影响，包括其他由国家科学基金会资助的研究项目。旅行和参与奖学金将有助于确保广泛的参与，最大限度地发挥社区影响。暑期班将于2018年6月18日至22日在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶的南加州大学举行。来自社区的专家将就概率论、效用理论和研究方法等主题提供指导和经验见解。工作坊将结合讲座、课堂内讨论、课外练习和学生主导的研究主题讨论。受邀的演讲者将讨论理论和实践方面的考虑以及该研究领域的未来方向。预定的社交活动将使学生能够发展他们的网络技能。将对暑期班的参与者进行调查，以提供有关成功的信息，并可为工程设计和系统工程研究界内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 who are interested in studying decision making in the context of engineering design and systems engineering. It is specifically intended to provide educational opportunities for students from graduate programs that do not have appropriate coursework in this area. The summer school will cover theoretical and practical issues. It will provide students with foundational understanding about how to conduct research about decision making in design and systems engineering, 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 during the week of June 18-22, 2018 at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA. Experts from the community will provide instruction and experiential insights on topics that include topics such as probability theory, utility theory, and research methodology. The workshop will combine lectures, in-classroom discussions, out-of-classroom exercises, and student-led research topic discussions. Invited speakers will discuss theoretical and practical considerations as well as future directions in the research area. Scheduled social events 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.
