GENERATIVE ENGINEERING OF ENGINEERED ENVIRONMENTS FOR LIFE SUPPORT
PROGRAM STRUCTURE LEGAL: Perpetuation Vehicle: EnGen Trust    Activation Vehicle: EnGen Institute     MISSION: Mission Objective > Mission Architecture > Programs > Projects > Research & Implementation   PROJECT: Each Project is a separately funded work unit with Integrated Research & Implementation RESEARCH & IMPLEMENTATION INFORMATION SYSTEM: Research System All projects commence with an information phase in which problems and issues are formalized as a specification. The appropriate theories and concepts are identified and a preliminary conceptual design produced together with project requirements for data collection and analysis which is then the starting point for physical design. PHYSICAL SYSTEM: Practice System The project specification and conceptual design has to be converted into a physical design which requires analysis of implementation alternatives and the material, personnel, plant and schedule constraints. When the best alternative is identified the physical design is developed and converted into production information (CAD > CAM, Shop drawings etc). The construction phase then commences, followed by acceptance testing and operation with data collection and analysis. Each physical stage  provides feedback to the information system closing the ‘figure of eight cycle’ and if necessary instigating a further refinement cycle in which both the information and physical systems are improved and evolve.
