Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU) will establish an Engineering Research         Center on Engineering Design.  The goal of the Carnegie-Mellon ERC on           Engineering Design is to develop concepts, methods, and design                  technologies that will allow U.S. industries to design better, less             expensive products more quickly.  To accomplish this, the Design ERC            will develop generic methods and tools that make possible an order of           magnitude reduction in design cycle times and an order of magnitude             increase in the ability to account for aspects of a product when                performing a design.  The ERC will emphasize the qualitative, heuristic         aspects of design, using recently developed concepts from artificial            intelligence and cognitive science.  The key features of the ERC                include a broad interdisciplinary approach to the problem of design and         a plan that addresses all aspects of various issues that affect the             design process from the creative concept to manufacturability and               serviceability.
