Welcome
to the SMART Laboratory Website!
Research of the SMART Lab is
at the intersection of engineering design and information technology. A systems
oriented approach is applied to provide designers, particularly of complex
systems and products, with methods and tools that allow for ease of modeling
coupled with rigorous methods for design synthesis and evaluation from a
life-cycle perspective. Knowledge management, function-based design
representation, and solution synthesis methods that consider preference,
imprecise information and multi-attribute decision-making are integral to
current projects. The SMART Lab is actively invested in research related to
the use of the Internet for collaborative and distributed design and also its
use as a tool to improve the availability, quality, and cost of engineering
education. The SMART Lab places a high value on the continued interest and
participation of industry partners in research and education activities. Grado Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering Department of Engineering Education Virginia
