The University of Buffalo-SUNY (UB) is planning to join the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) entitled "Center for e-Design and Realization of Engineered Products and Systems (e-Design)" which currently is a multi- university center comprised of Virginia Tech (lead institution), the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, the University of Central Florida, and Carnegie Mellon University. The mission and vision of the existing e-Design Center is to research and develop methods tools that support the realization of a new design paradigm that can be used to develop new engineered products and systems. UB requests funding for becoming a site of the NSF Center for e-Design under the leadership of Professor Kemper E. Lewis. The NSF multi-university IUCRC for e-Design addresses the science and engineering challenges that limit the evolution of a new product/system design approaches that are essential for efficient, rapid and reliable design and manufacture in a highly competitive global environment. The University of Buffalo Site brings emphasis in product visualization and simulation, immersive environments, decision networks, information technology to support design decision making, and motion simulation to the existing center. The research efforts at UB will support the e-Design center's long term goal of establishing a new paradigm where products/systems are conceived and produced in a cyber-enabled domain with the full participation of all key stake-holders including designers, manufacturers, engineers, OEMs and consumers. A multi-disciplinary team including eight academic departments is engaged. The research will have broader impact through a strong cohort of industry partners, including medical, foods and infrastructure companies. The research thrusts identified will produce tools useful to a wide range of industries. The proposed effort at UB will contribute to the successful development and preparation of graduate and undergraduate students. Students associated with the Center will receive career development opportunities, attendance of and presentations at interdisciplinary conferences and workshops, as well as training in the ethical conduct of research. The addition of UB also contributes to the diversity of the Center, with 38% of participating faculty being women. The PI and other UB faculty will continue to recruit underrepresented students, including partnering with a number of university programs aimed at providing research opportunities for these students.

布法罗州立大学 (UB) 计划加入工业/大学合作研究中心 (I/UCRC)，名为“工程产品和系统的电子设计与实现中心 (e-Design)”，该中心目前是一个多学科研究中心。 - 大学中心由弗吉尼亚理工大学（牵头机构）、马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校、中佛罗里达大学和卡内基梅隆大学组成。现有电子设计中心的使命和愿景是研究和开发支持实现新设计范式的方法工具，该范式可用于开发新的工程产品和系统。布法罗大学请求资金成为肯珀·E·刘易斯教授领导下的美国国家科学基金会电子设计中心的一个站点。 NSF 多所大学 IUCRC 的电子设计解决了限制新产品/系统设计方法发展的科学和工程挑战，而新产品/系统设计方法对于在竞争激烈的全球环境中实现高效、快速和可靠的设计和制造至关重要。布法罗大学站点将重点放在产品可视化和模拟、沉浸式环境、决策网络、支持设计决策的信息技术以及现有中心的运动模拟方面。布法罗大学的研究工作将支持电子设计中心的长期目标，即建立一个新的范例，在网络驱动的领域中构思和生产产品/系统，并让包括设计师、制造商、工程师在内的所有主要利益相关者充分参与、原始设备制造商和消费者。一个包括八个学术部门的多学科团队参与其中。该研究将通过包括医疗、食品和基础设施公司在内的强大行业合作伙伴群体产生更广泛的影响。确定的研究重点将产生对广泛行业有用的工具。布法罗大学的拟议工作将有助于研究生和本科生的成功发展和准备。与该中心相关的学生将获得职业发展机会、参加跨学科会议和研讨会并在会上发表演讲，以及研究道德行为方面的培训。布法罗大学的加入也有助于该中心的多样性，参与的教师中有 38% 是女性。 PI 和布法罗大学的其他教师将继续招募代表性不足的学生，包括与一些旨在为这些学生提供研究机会的大学项目合作。
