That approach includes the following key steps: forming a national partnership of government, industry, and academia to take advantage of the current historic opportunity to develop AEEs forming government-industry-academia AEE partnerships by individual agencies, such as NASA, as an interim step for addressing agency-specific goals while a national partnership is being formed overcoming major barriers related to the integration of systems, tools, and data; information management; cultural, economic, and management issues; and education and training) facilitating the transfer of new capabilities to commercially available products by developing applicationspecific tools required by government through contracts with industry whenever practical · focusing the government's AEE research and development on key objectives, such as (1)

Each organization should also assign a strong leader or "champion" supported by the following: a knowledgeable team familiar with lessons learned from similar organizations that have implemented AEE technologies a plan for deploying AEEs that is tailored to the stated objectives and the barriers that must be overcome realization by all levels of the organization that both technical and nontechnical changes are needed in the near term and/or the long term for future success (or, perhaps, survival) long-term commitment by senior executives to the deployment of AEEs despite the costs of setting up new systems and processes and the risks of short-term setbacks · willingness of the workforce to accept new methods 47 The technologies for developing AEEs are available, and their performance is improving rapidly.

Change is not guaranteed, however, because organizational cultures are usually defined by the attitudes of experienced workers who may prefer the DESIGN IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM comfortable familiarity of traditional design and development processes. Government has traditionally supported university research in individual disciplines, although multidisciplinary research projects have become more common in recent years.
