The 1991 study was authored at a time when the United States was losing market leadership to the "Asian tigers." It reflected pessimism about the aI:-3ility of the United States to compete in world markets and attributed some of the nation's problem to poor design practices. A short decade later, the U.S.

, can be used to develop knowledge bases that enable innovative, reliable, cost-effective, and efficient designs. Design is a complex process involving aspects ranging from product quality to life-cycle analysis, but first and foremost, the physicochemic~l phenomena or behavior of the system elements, must be understood to make the innovations required and to assure functional performance of the design.
