Linda C. Schmidt is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland. Schmidt earned B.S. (1989) and M.S. (1991) degrees in from Iowa State University for work in industrial engineering. Schmidt completed her doctorate in mechanical engineering (1995) at Carnegie Mellon University with research in grammar-based generative design. Schmidt's research interests are in understanding the process by which early stage, engineering design tasks are successfully completed so that we can devise effective methods for learning design and preserving knowledge that arises in the process. Schmidt is the 2008 recipient of the ASEE's Fred Merryfield Design Award.
