Graduate Research Traineeships in Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing

格尔-9554556彼得斯化学和机械工程系在南卡罗来纳州的大学将建立一个跨学科的培训计划，重点是减少，回收，或消除在制造过程中的有害溶剂。该计划在环境意识制造解决了一个问题，这是非常重要的整个制造业，并影响到大型和小型行业。该方案包括与南卡罗来纳州的小企业进行重大互动，以及得到州环境控制部的支持。此外，与AlliedSignal，AT T和Westvaco等大公司的密切合作确保学员将广泛接触行业面临的基本和应用问题。 学员将在三大领域之一进行研究：变压吸附溶剂回收和再循环;溶剂替代和工艺改进的超临界流体技术;或溶剂密集型制造工艺（包括吸附和超临界流体技术）的建模，用于生命周期分析和环境设计。建模工作特别旨在加速学术研究成果向包括小企业在内的行业的转移。 学员将接受来自优秀学术学者以及行业导师的指导。 一些人将在国内行业实习，而另一些人可能在德国的AT T全球信息系统公司实习，这是为这个实习计划制定的安排。这些学员还将接受课堂教学指导。

GER-9554556 Peters The Departments of Chemical and Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina will establish an interdisciplinary traineeship program focusing on the reduction, recycle, or elimination of hazardous solvents in manufacturing processes. This program in Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing addresses an issue which is of great importance across the manufacturing spectrum, and which affects both large and small industries. The program includes significant interaction with small businesses in the State of South Carolina, as well as support from the State Department of Environmental Control. In addition, close collaboration with large companies such as AlliedSignal, AT&T, and Westvaco ensures that trainees will receive a broad exposure to fundamental and applied problems facing industry. Trainees will perform research in one of three broad areas: pressure swing adsorption for solvent recovery and recycle; supercritical fluid technology for solvent substitution and process modification; or modeling of solvent-intensive manufacturing processes (including adsorption and supercritical fluid technologies) for life cycle analysis and environmental design. The modeling effort in particular is designed to hasten the transfer of results of academic research to industry, including small businesses. Trainees will receive mentoring form outstanding academic scholars, as well as from industrial mentors. Some will have internships in domestic industries, while others may apprentice with AT&T Global Information Systems in Germany under an arrangement developed for this traineeship program. These trainees will also be given instruction in classroom teaching.
