This work is part of an ongoing, multiuniversity, effort to create cyber infrastructure-based engineering repositories for undergraduates (CIBER-U) to support engineering design education. The technical approach is to use knowledge representation techniques to create formal models of engineering data elements, workflows and processes. With these formal engineering knowledge and processes can be captured and preserved with some guarantee of long-term interpretability. The article presents examples of how the techniques can be used to encode specific engineering information packages and workflows. These techniques are being integrated into a semantic wiki that supports the CIBER-U engineering education activities across nine universities and involving over 3500 students since 2006.}, number={1}, journal={AI Magazine}, author={Regli, William C. and Kopena, Joseph B. and Grauer, Michael and Simpson, Timothy W. and Stone, Robert B. and Lewis, Kemper and Bohm, Matt R. and Wilkie, David and Piecyk, Martin and Osecki, Jordan}, year={2010}, month={Jan.}, pages={37-50} }
