Cambridge Engineering Design Centre (IMRC Renewal)

战略=剑桥EDC的总体目标是通过对支撑未来设计方法的理论进行研究，提高工程设计师和设计团队的效力和效率。这些方法将体现在支持创造可靠、高质量、高成本效益产品的软件工具、工作簿和出版物中。研究主题=研究主题：*医疗保健设计：为患者安全设计*包容性设计：为年长和残疾用户设计(1)*流程建模：设计流程建模*变更管理：跟踪产品变更*设计实践：理解实践*工程知识：捕获、存储和检索(1)*计算设计：集成优化方法和工具注(1)这些主题从IMRC整体拨款中获得零支持或最少支持。

Strategy=======The overall aim of the Cambridge EDC is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of engineering designers and design teams by undertaking research into the theories that will underpin the design methods of the future. These methods will be embodied in software tools, workbooks and publications that support the creation of reliable, high-quality, cost-effective products.Research Themes==============The EDC's is structured under the following research Themes: * Healthcare Design: Design for Patient Safety * Inclusive Design: Designing for the Older and Disabled Users (1) * Process Modelling: Modelling the Design Process * Change Management: Tracking Changes in Products * Design Practice: Understanding Practice * Engineering Knowledge: Capture, Storage and Retrival (1) * Computational Design: Integrated Optimisation Methods and Tools Note (1) These Themes receive zero or minimal support from the IMRC Block Grant.
