This grant provides funding to support a workshop on Interdisciplinary Graduate Design Programs to be held at the National Science Foundation on May 29-30, 2008. The invited participants will consist of key faculty and researchers from the United States, the Netherlands, Italy, Sweden and several other countries who are involved in these unique graduate programs. Industry practitioners from well-known design firms and corporations will also participate. This workshop will provide a forum wherein the design community can discuss the challenges, successes, and future directions of these programs to gain new insights into how to construct, grow, and sustain interdisciplinary graduate programs that prepare students for successful design innovation. The participants will also discuss benchmarking metrics for program assessment while soliciting industry feedback on program improvements. The results will be widely disseminated through publications, a web site, presentations at ASEE and ASME conferences, a panel session at the 2008 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences, and a special issue of the ASME Journal of Mechanical Design. The workshop will strengthen existing and emerging interdisciplinary graduate design programs across the country, improving our innovation output and increasing our competitive economic advantage. The workshop supports the emergence of a new model for graduate education which is based on tightly integrated interdisciplinary research. The interdisciplinary graduate design programs not only cross department boundaries within engineering but also span college boundaries through mutually beneficial partnerships with non-engineering programs at the university, e.g. architecture, business, art and design, society and technology. The lessons learned from creating, administering, and sustaining these interdisciplinary graduate design programs, which will be widely disseminated through publications and a web-based repository of knowledge, will provide substantive guidance to inform the creation of other novel and highly interdisciplinary graduate programs.

该赠款提供了资金，以支持将于2008年5月29日至30日在国家科学基金会举行的跨学科研究生设计计划的研讨会。被邀请的参与者将包括来自美国，荷兰，意大利，瑞典，瑞典和其他几个参与这些独特研究生计划的重要教师和研究人员。来自知名设计公司和公司的行业从业人员也将参加。该研讨会将提供一个论坛，在其中设计社区可以讨论这些计划的挑战，成功和未来的方向，以获取有关如何构建，成长和维持跨学科的研究生课程的新见解，以使学生为成功的设计创新做好准备。参与者还将讨论用于计划评估的基准测量标准，同时征求行业改进的反馈。结果将通过出版物，网站，ASEE和ASME会议的演示，2008年ASME国际设计工程技术会议上的小组会议以及ASME机械设计杂志的特刊进行广泛传播。 该研讨会将加强全国各地现有和新兴的跨学科研究生设计计划，改善我们的创新产出并提高我们的竞争经济优势。该研讨会支持基于紧密整合的跨学科研究的新型研究生教育模型的出现。跨学科研究生设计计划不仅在工程学中的跨部门界限，而且还通过与大学的非工程计划建立互惠互利的合作伙伴关系，例如建筑，商业，艺术和设计，社会和技术。从创建，管理和维持这些跨学科的研究生设计计划中学到的经验教训，这些计划将通过出版物和基于网络的知识存储库广泛传播，它将提供实质性的指导，以告知创建其他新颖且高度跨学科的研究生计划。
