Interdisciplinary Engineering Knowledge Genome

Yoram Reich, Offer Shai (alphabetical order)

This project is an ambitious attempt to provide the same benefits to engineering disciplines as did the Human Genome Project (HGP) to biology and its related disciplines.

 

 

 

 

Human Genome Project

Interdisciplinary Engineering Knowledge Genome

 

Genes

Linear arrangement of amino acids

System genes: arrangement of basic objects represented in discrete mathematics

 

 

 

 

Method genes:

 

 

 

Structure genes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Infused Design

 

In the future, infused design will revolutionize design education:

1.       There will be a single theoretical course on Infused design and its mathematical foundation

2.       Many other courses would become applications courses (e.g., electrical circuits, mechanisms, structural mechanics)
