SYSTEM DESIGN OPTIMIZATION LABORATORY

The System Design Optimization Laboratory was founded by Dr. Scott Ferguson in 2008 when he arrived at NC State. Members of our lab work as a team, and we work to foster a collaborative, productive research environment. Where possible, Dr. Ferguson works with his students to identify research projects that fit within the lab vision and match their interest and passion... The System Design Optimization (SDO) Laboratory conducts cutting-edge research into the maximization of product/system value. Our research answers questions about optimal product variety and optimal system architecture by modeling market-driven environments and considering uncertain and/or conflicting future requirements. We apply principles of design thinking and recognize that design is inherently a decision-making process. The tools/methods that we develop advance engineering design automation and design theory. Our research products help engineers navigate the interdisciplinary challenges associated with designing..
