The research of the planned I/UCRC for Advanced Vehicle Manufacturing aims to integrate multiple universities and disciplines to advance research that is intended to extend knowledge in the fields of smart assembly, logistics, and process diagnostics through data analytics and statistical modeling. Moreover, a better fundamental understanding of adapting emerging manufacturing methods and advanced materials with environmentally friendly (waste, fuel, emissions) vehicle designs will be explored. Research will also include an improved understanding and integration of the health, safety, and environmental issues of emerging manufacturing techniques.Vehicle manufacturing is a sector of significant economic impact to the U.S., especially to the southeast. The Center intends to address the major challenges faced in advanced vehicle manufacturing and in the process have a major economic impact. With the cross-disciplinary expertise of the faculty and industry support, the center will also provide opportunities for interdisciplinary education. Workforce development and cross-training will be addressed through collaboration with a consortium of community colleges that work closely with the auto industry. The research team has significant involvement in diversity, veterans and K-12 outreach initiatives and the mentoring of graduate and undergraduate researchers.

计划中的 I/UCRC 先进汽车制造研究旨在整合多所大学和学科来推进研究，旨在通过数据分析和统计建模扩展智能装配、物流和过程诊断领域的知识。此外，还将探索如何更好地了解如何将新兴制造方法和先进材料与环保（废物、燃料、排放）车辆设计相结合。研究还将包括加深对新兴制造技术的健康、安全和环境问题的理解和整合。汽车制造是对美国（尤其是东南部）经济影响重大的行业。该中心旨在解决先进汽车制造面临的主要挑战，并在此过程中产生重大经济影响。凭借教师的跨学科专业知识和行业支持，该中心还将提供跨学科教育的机会。劳动力发展和交叉培训将通过与汽车行业密切合作的社区大学联盟的合作来解决。该研究团队积极参与多元化、退伍军人和 K-12 外展活动以及研究生和本科生研究人员的指导。
