9624787 Bras This NSF Career Award provides support for research on how to enhance the integrated design of products and de- and remanufacture processes. Demanufacture is defined as the entire process opposite to manufacture involved in recycling, reuse, incineration and/or disposal of products after they have been taken back by one or more companies. The specific objectives of the work are to establish (1) the operational parameters and models for an extended set of commercial and prototypical plastic-metal chemical and mechanical product de- and remanufacturing processes, (2) computer-based tools for integrated product and process design of plastic-metal products with associated appropriate high performance and robust de- and remanufacture processes, and (3) the efficient and effective integration of such new technologies in engineering education. These objectives will be achieved by (1) classifying the technical, economical and ecological performance of appropriate de- and remanfacture processes, (2) developing models for de- and remanufacturability performance and robustness assessments, (3) developing tools for de- and remanufacturability process selection and synthesis, (4) integrating this process selection and synthesis with product design and synthesis models, and (5) enhancing the education and learning about new technologies in general and de- and remanufacture in particular through the development and assessment of new courseware and educational facilities. Educational focal points are to (a) increase learning through doing by creating a facility where students can demanufacture real systems, (b) increase the outreach to practicing engineers (and others) by creating self-study (multi-media) courseware on product and process design for de- and remanufacture, and (c) increase the diversity of students and encourage holistic thinking by creating an international course on Environmentally Conscious Design. A primary issue is assessing the effectiveness of the learning that takes place by the students. A secondary issue is the efficiency of the delivery of the educational material. This award will provide advances in the field of recycling durable goods, like automobiles. It will help to increase the US competitiveness with respect to designing products and cost-effective recycling processes that will meet current and pending product take-back legislation in Europe. The research will contribute to new technologies for pursing recyclability, reusability, and other means of environmentally benign product disposal. Other tangible outcomes will be computer-based tools that will provide decision support and enable designers to explore different recycling process scenarios in conjunction with the product design.

9624787胸罩这个NSF职业奖为如何增强产品以及制造和再制造过程的集成设计提供了支持。 制造定义为与一家或多家公司收回产品后的回收，再利用，焚化和/或处置相反的整个过程。 这项工作的具体目的是建立（1）一组扩展的商业和原型塑料金属化学和机械产品的运营参数和模型，（2）基于计算机的基于计算机的工具，用于塑料产品的集成产品以及与相关的高性能以及适当的高性能以及Robust De-和Robust De-and Remuancust and Remuancust and Remuancust and Remuancust and Remunchusture Procession和（3）进行有效的整合技术。 These objectives will be achieved by (1) classifying the technical, economical and ecological performance of appropriate de- and remanfacture processes, (2) developing models for de- and remanufacturability performance and robustness assessments, (3) developing tools for de- and remanufacturability process selection and synthesis, (4) integrating this process selection and synthesis with product design and synthesis models, and (5) enhancing the education and learning about new technologies in general and尤其是通过开发和评估新的课程和教育设施来制定和再制造。 教育焦点是（a）通过创建一个设施来提高学生可以设计真实系统的设施，（b）通过创建自我研究（多媒体）为De-和Remanufacture的产品和过程设计的课程来增加实践工程师（和其他）的宣传，并提高学生的范围，并通过创造环境设计的整体思考来增加学生的多样性来增加实践的范围。 一个主要问题是评估学生进行的学习有效性。 次要问题是提供教育材料的效率。 该奖项将在回收耐用商品（如汽车）领域提供进步。 这将有助于提高美国在设计产品和具有成本效益的回收流程方面的竞争力，这些过程将符合欧洲当前和未决的产品收款立法。 这项研究将有助于新技术，以追求可回收性，可重复性和其他环境良性产品处置方式。 其他有形的结果将是基于计算机的工具，它将提供决策支持，并使设计师能够与产品设计结合使用不同的回收过程方案。
