IGERT: Environmental Manufacturing Management

这项综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖将支持克拉克森大学建立一个多学科的环境制造管理研究生培训计划。该计划的目标是为研究生提供强大的技术技能，并为他们提供广泛的环境，管理，经济，政策和沟通方面的接触，这些方面对于在这个复杂的领域取得进展至关重要。这项活动是克拉克森大学工程、科学、商业和文科学院的16名科学家和工程师的共同努力。这些学者已建立了研究合作关系，他们的集体专业知识将在五年的任期内为培养大约48名研究生的多元化干部提供知识基础。每年被录取的学生将作为一个由科学和工程博士生和管理系统硕士生组成的团队在项目中取得进展。教师导师之间的互动将通过研讨会和务虚会加强。研究将采取系统的方法。该计划的组成部分是工业实习，其中研究团队将与制造人员互动。这个IGERT设置的一个独特之处在于一个新的试点制造测试设施，该设施将用于在实习期间评估正在研究的制造过程的技术、操作和管理替代方案，其规模足以获得实际的性能和成本数据。IGERT是一个新的，nsf范围内的项目，旨在促进建立创新的，以研究为基础的研究生项目，培养多样化的科学家和工程师群体，为利用广泛的职业选择做好充分的准备。IGERT为博士机构提供了一个开发新的、重点突出的多学科研究生课程的机会，这些课程超越了组织界限，并将来自几个部门或机构的教师联合起来，为培训和研究建立一个高度互动、协作的环境。在该计划的第一年，将为17个机构提供新的或新生的项目，这些项目共同涵盖了NSF支持的所有科学和工程领域。

This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) award will support the establishment of a multidisciplinary graduate training program in Environmental Manufacturing Management at Clarkson University. The goal of this program is to equip graduate students with strong technical skills and provide them with extensive exposure to the environmental, managerial, economic, policy, and communication aspects essential to progress in this complex field. This activity is a joint effort of sixteen scientists and engineers from the Schools of Engineering, Science, Business, and Liberal Arts at Clarkson University. Members of this group of scholars have established research collaborations and their collective expertise will provide the intellectual underpinning for the training of a diverse cadre of some forty-eight graduate students over the five-year tenure of the award. Students admitted each year will progress through the program as a cohort comprised of teams of doctoral students in science and engineering and masters students in management systems. Interaction among the faculty mentors will be enhanced through seminars and retreats. Research will take a systems approach. Integral to the program are industrial internships wherein research teams will interact with manufacturing personnel. A unique feature of this IGERT setting will be a new pilot manufacturing testing facility that will be used to evaluate technical, operational, and managerial alternatives to the manufacturing processes under study during the internships at a scale sufficient to obtain realistic performance and cost data. IGERT is a new, NSF-wide program intended to facilitate the establishment of innovative, research-based graduate programs that will train a diverse group of scientists and engineers to be well-prepared to take advantage of a broad spectrum of career options. IGERT provides doctoral institutions with an opportunity to develop new, well-focussed multidisciplinary graduate programs that transcend organizational boundaries and unite faculty from several departments or institutions to establish a highly interactive, collaborative environment for both training and research. In this first year of the program, support will be provided to seventeen institutions for new or nascent programs that collectively span all areas of science and engineering supported by NSF.
