| Linda C. Schmidt is an Associate Professor at
the University of
Maryland in the
Department of Mechanical
Engineering.
She completed her doctorate in Mechanical Engineering at
Carnegie Mellon
University and developed a grammar-based, generate and
optimize approach to mechanical design. The dissertation title
was "An Implementation Using Grammars of an Abstraction-Based
Model of Mechanical Design for Design Optimization and Design
Space Characterization." Her B.S. and M.S. degrees were granted
by Iowa State University for work in Industrial Engineering with
a specialization in queuing theory, the theory of waiting in
lines.
Her research interests include computational design, design
optimization, and developing formal methods for design. Her
educational interests include the development of student project
team training materials to build more effective engineering
student project teams. Dr. Schmidt is the founder and director
of the
Designer Assistance
Tool Laboratory. She is a member of the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers and the America
Society of Engineering Education.
