Description

The Engineering Design and Systems Engineering (EDSE) program supports fundamental research that advances design science and/or systems science through the creation of new knowledge about the design of engineered artifacts. The program focuses on design as a system, including designers, artifacts, methods, and environment, all subject to scientific inquiry. It encourages multidisciplinary collaborations and supports contributions in areas such as design representation, optimization, validation, robotics, materials systems, cognition, collaboration, data science, AI, and design in extreme environments. Proposals should be theory-grounded and include plans to assess research methods' effectiveness.
