W3: CLOUD BASED DESIGN AND INTEGRATED FINITE ELEMENT
ANALYSIS
Sunday, August 6
9:00am–12:00pm
Room 24
Organizers/Presenters: Ashok V. Kumar, University of Florida, Gainesville
Darren Henry, Onshape
Abstract: Recent advances towards full-cloud CAD and integrated finite
element analysis will be presented at this workshop. Integrating CAD and
finite element analysis has been difficult using traditional finite element
method due to the challenges of translating complex geometry into a finite
element mesh in a fully automated fashion. In this workshop, we will
introduce mesh independent finite element analysis based on an immersed
boundary approach that allows accurate CAD models to be used without
any modification for analysis. Geometry is immersed in an automatically
generated background mesh and used for analysis without any loss in
geometric accuracy or the need to recreate the solid model as a mesh.
This approach also enables the use of B-spline elements that provide
continuous solutions for stresses and strains. In addition to demonstrating
this technology using commercial cloud based CAD software, we will
provide a tutorial on the underlying methodology and its application to
various types of analysis including static and dynamic structural analysis as
well as thermal analysis and coupled simulations.
W4: LAB EXPERIMENTS ON INDIVIDUAL AND INTERACTIVE
DECISION MAKING IN DESIGN
Sunday, August 6
8:00am–12:00pm
Room: To Be Determined
Room 21
Organizers/Presenters: Zhenghui Sha, University of Arkansas
Jitesh H. Panchal, Purdue University
Ilias Bilionis, Purdue University
Abstract: Decision-making is at the core of engineering design. While there
has been significant progress in using normative theories to support design
decision making, the use of experimental methods for decision making in
design is relatively recent. The goal of this workshop is to provide a
platform for discussion of the state-of-the-art research of human-subject
experiments on understanding individual as well as the interactive
decision-making in engineering design. The workshop has four learning
objectives: a) understanding the benefits and challenges in using
controlled lab experiments in design research, b) understanding the
process of designing lab experiments with human subjects, c) learning
statistical techniques for analyzing behavioral data, and d) gaining
familiarity with modern software platforms for conducting lab experiments
in interactive decision making. The workshop will consist of a set of
presentations related to the learning objectives, followed by a hands-on
experimental study.

W5: THE PSI MATRIX FRAMEWORK OF DESIGN
<< CANCELLED >>
Organizers/Presenters: Yoram Reich, Tel Aviv University
Eswaran Subrahmanian, Carnegie Mellon
University
Abstract: The PSI matrix is a framework for understanding complex design
situations and improving their outcome. The framework is a culmination of
3 decades of research on design originated at the Engineering Design
Research Center at Carnegie Mellon University and continuing in three
continents with numerous people. It has guided us in projects and
continues to be developed and serve as a method we use in our projects.
The framework has been presented in conferences and workshops in the
last 5 years and reported in papers; its latest version will be presented at
the workshop. The framework is composed of 3 similar levels addressing
what/why of the problem being addressed, who is addressing it and how.
The framework allows understanding several aspects that influence the
success or failure of projects and their critical interrelationships.
The workshop will provide an introduction to the framework through simple
exercises. Subsequently, more complex cases will be analyzed and at the
end, the participants, divided in small groups will analyze a case, identify its
problematic aspects, and propose solutions. The outcome of these group
discussions will be presented at the workshop. The workshop provides a
new language to speak about complex situations that is intuitive and
powerful.
W6: USING CYBERLEARNING TO ENABLE SUSTAINABLE
ENGINEERING EDUCATION
<< CANCELLED >>
Organizers/Presenters: Karl R. Haapala, Oregon State University
Kathy L. Jackson, Pennsylvania State University
Kyoung-Yun Kim, Wayne State University
Gul E. Okudan Kremer, Iowa State University
Carolyn E. Psenka, Wayne State University
Kamyar Raoufi, Oregon State University
Kijung Park, Pennsylvania State University
Abstract: Engineering educators have few tools at their disposal to facilitate
effective learning of the broad topics encompassed by sustainable
engineering. Sustainable engineering tools are either limited in scope or
require costly licenses and/or specialized domain knowledge. Thus, open
cyberlearning tools, such as the CooL:SLiCE platform introduced in this
workshop, provide the opportunity to scaffold the learning of topics related
to design, manufacturing and supply chain analysis, and environmental
responsibility – all pertinent to sustainable product development. Using
active participation, this workshop will examine the current state of
sustainable engineering education and will introduce the CooL:SLiCE
platform. Participants will envision new approaches to educating
engineering students about sustainability topics in formal and informal
