GER-9554570 Manousiouthakis Irrevocable change is occurring in the way we conceive, develop and design chemical technologies, whether for petrochemicals production, bioprocessing, or electronic materials synthesis. The scientific and economic arguments for development of clean technologies with minimal environmental impact have become truly compelling if we are to enjoy further improvement in our quality of life for the foreseeable future. Those engaged in clean chemical process development confront revolutionary challenges in chemical synthesis, separations, and process design for pollution prevention and the minimization of waste. A new breed of chemical engineer must be educated and trained in the area of Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing to meet these challenges. Funds are requested for the support of five Graduate Research Trainees pursuing PhD studies in Chemical Engineering in the area of Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing. Two additional trainees will be supported by UCLA matching funds. The Traineeships will be for five years and will be administered through the Chemical Engineering Department. An integrated program of cross-disciplinary research, classroom learning, industrial internships, and teaching experience has been designed to train PhD students in environmentally conscious manufacturing and pollution prevention research. Given that the ultimate implementation of pollution prevention concepts will require the participation of scientists and engineers trained in fields other than chemical engineering, each of the Trainees will be jointly mentored by two faculty members; one from chemical engineering, and one from another discipline. This interdisciplinary approach in research and training will provide the optimal means to contribute effectively to the engineering science and technology base for environmentally conscious manufacturing, which is currently in its infancy. A rigorous curriculum, a multimonth visit to a host research institution, seminars, workshops and teaching assignments, and their daily interactions with their mentors and each other, will prepare these students to teach and do research in this field. Furthermore, their contributions to the development of software, monographs, and case studies will help educated a new generation of engineers that are environmentally aware and have the knowledge base needed to prevent the generation of pollution.

格尔-9554570 Manousiouthakis 我们构思、开发和设计化学技术的方式正在发生不可阻挡的变化，无论是石油化工生产、生物加工还是电子材料合成。如果我们要在可预见的未来进一步提高生活质量，发展对环境影响最小的清洁技术的科学和经济论点已变得真正令人信服。 从事清洁化学工艺开发的人员面临着化学合成、分离和工艺设计方面的革命性挑战，以防止污染和最大限度地减少废物。新一代的化学工程师必须在环境意识制造领域接受教育和培训，以应对这些挑战。要求提供资金，以支持五名研究生在环境意识制造领域攻读化学工程博士学位。另外两名受训人员将得到加州大学洛杉矶分校配套资金的支持。 培训将为期五年，并将通过化学工程系管理。跨学科研究，课堂学习，工业实习和教学经验的综合计划旨在培养具有环保意识的制造和污染预防研究的博士生。鉴于污染预防概念的最终实施将需要在化学工程以外的领域接受过培训的科学家和工程师的参与，每个受训人员将由两名教员共同指导;一名来自化学工程，另一名来自另一个学科。这种跨学科的研究和培训方法将提供最佳手段，有效地促进目前处于起步阶段的环境意识制造业的工程科学和技术基础。一个严格的课程，一个多月的访问主办研究机构，研讨会，讲习班和教学任务，以及他们与他们的导师和彼此的日常互动，将准备这些学生在这一领域的教学和研究。此外，他们对软件开发、专著和案例研究的贡献将有助于教育新一代的工程师，他们具有环保意识，并拥有防止污染产生所需的知识基础。
