The quality of engineering design is a critical factor in the                   competitive success of industries.  The new technology in                       computer-aided-design has improved the support available to designers           in some areas, but has made the lack of fundamental understanding of            engineering design more obvious and more critical.  A set of                    generalized tools and constructs will be developed for the design               process which can be specialized for any particular design domain.  The         research will focus on the following areas:  creating a design=
