"New Math, Hot Cars: Science vs. Art in Automotive Design"
Saturday, May 14, 2005
The Stanford Club of New England, the Stanford Alumni Association, and the Stanford School of Engineering cordially invite you to a lecture and reception at the Museum of Fine Arts with Stanford Engineering Professor Diane Bailey, "New Math, Hot Cars: Science vs. Art in Automotive Design." This lecture complements the current Museum of Fine Arts exhibition "Speed, Style and Beauty: Cars from the Ralph Lauren Collections."
SCHEDULE:
12:00-12:30 PM Check-in at MFA Riley Room for lecture
12:30-2:00 PM Prof. Diane Bailey's lecture on Auto Design and the MFA "Speed, Style, and Beauty" Car Exhibit in the Riley Room
2:30-3:30 PM Afternoon Tea Reception at the MFA Bravo Restaurant
2:30 & 3:30 PM Optional, self-arranged tours of the MFA "Speed, Style, and Beauty" car exhibit
EVENT PRICING:
Faculty Lecture and Tea Reception:

About the talk:
Scholars of work have long been interested in how technological change in the workplace affects the way work is done, how individuals carry out their tasks, and the environment in which work is performed. The assembly line perhaps most dramatically represents such a technological change for work in the first half of the twentieth century. In the second half of that century, the computer arguably had the greatest impact on work of any technology. In this talk, Professor Bailey will discuss how the computer continues to transform engineering work. In particular, she will describe the impact of modern computing on the design and analysis of automobiles. Professor Bailey will share preliminary insights from an ongoing multi-year study of engineering design that includes projects in the US and India, where engineering analysis is increasingly outsourced. For details about this research project, visit here.
This lecture complements the current Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) exhibition "Speed, Style and Beauty: Cars from the Ralph Lauren Collections." We invite guests to view the exhibit after the Stanford Club of New England (SCNE) event. MFA exhibit tickets are sold separately.
About the speaker:
Diane E. Bailey is Assistant Professor of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University and a member of Stanford's Center for Work, Technology and Organization. Her research examines the interplay between work and technology in high-tech settings and occupations. Her specific research interests include engineering work, tele-work, knowledge, learning, and work teams. Professor Bailey was invited to the first National Academy of Engineering Frontiers of Engineering symposium, an annual meeting of early-career engineers. In 1998, she was selected as 1 of 30 American engineers to attend the first German-American Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, held in Dresden, Germany. She was granted a National Science Foundation CAREER award in 1997 from the Design, Manufacture, and Industrial Innovation Division. Bailey holds a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to joining Stanford in 1998, she was on the faculty at the University of Southern California.
