项目摘要

This award is to support a workshop entitled Workshop for Biologically-Inspired Design to be held May 10 - 13, 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia. Biologically-inspired design focuses on the use of biological processes, organisms and systems as potential sources of innovative solutions for vexing technological or engineering problems. The principle investigators bring mechanical engineering design and biological expertise to this endeavor. In order to facilitate the collaboration between biological scientists and engineers, the goals of the workshop are: 1) Gather together scientists who use biologically-inspired design in various fields as a way to identify common principles and approaches, and to identify critical areas that require coordination among different practitioners of biologically-inspired design; 2) Bring together scientists, engineers, and designers to facilitate the incorporation of biological principles into engineering design, and to familiarize biologists with challenges that are amenable to, but currently lacking in, biologically-inspired approaches;, 3) Educate industry about the benefits; and 4) develop strategies for teaching biologically inspired design that will facilitate collaboration early in the educational paths. The broader impacts of this workshop are expected to be significant, particularly in establishing a community that has the needed expertise to address sustainability of society issues. The education of future scientists and engineers who are trained in biologically-inspired design will promote the design of innovative and sustainable products in the future.

该奖项旨在支持一个题为“生物学启发设计研讨会”的研讨会，于2006年5月10日至13日在佐治亚州的亚特兰大举行。以生物学灵感的设计着重于将生物过程，生物和系统用作烦恼技术或工程问题的创新解决方案的潜在来源。主要研究人员将机械工程设计和生物学专业知识带入了这项工作。为了促进生物科学家与工程师之间的协作，研讨会的目标是：1）聚集在各个领域中使用生物学启发的设计的科学家，作为确定共同原理和方法的一种方式，并确定需要在生物学上启发的设计不同实践者之间进行协调的关键领域； 2）将科学家，工程师和设计师汇集在一起，以促进将生物原理纳入工程设计，并熟悉生物学家面临可容纳但目前缺乏生物学启发的方法的挑战； 3）教育行业有关这些益处的教育； 4）制定策略来教授以生物学启发的设计，这些设计将有助于在教育道路的早期进行协作。预计该研讨会的更广泛影响将是重要的，尤其是在建立具有解决社会问题可持续性的所需专业知识的社区时。接受生物学启发的设计培训的未来科学家和工程师的教育将在未来促进创新和可持续产品的设计。
