NSF Green Processing Undergraduate Research Program

9912339 grant绿色工艺技术包括使用环保技术的产品或工艺的概念、设计、实施或生产。这个术语涵盖了广泛的主题，从生产设施的污染预防到材料的环保处理。有关的术语，例如无害环境或有环境意识的制造，也用来描述在处理前减少废物的数量和毒性的方法。这个为期10周的夏季REU网站的总体目的是为绿色加工领域的不同学生群体提供教育研究经验。参与该计划的教师研究导师在环境友好处理领域有着广泛的记录。学生和教师与位于北卡罗来纳州立大学的凯南制造二氧化碳利用中心和国家科学基金会环保溶剂和工艺科学技术中心进行互动。除了由教师指导的传统研究项目外，由国家科学基金会赞助的NCSU研究伦理倡议项目的教授们还将举办一系列以工程和环境伦理为主题的伦理研讨会。

9912339GrantGreen Process Technologies include the conception, design, implementation or production of products or processes using techniques that are environmentally friendly. This term covers a wide range of topics from pollution prevention in a manufacturing facility to environmentally benign treatment of materials. Related terms, such as environmentally benign or environmentally conscious manufacturing are also used to describe the approach of reducing the amount and toxicity of wastes prior to treatment. The overall purpose of this 10-week summer REU Site is to provide an educational research experience for a diverse student population in the area of Green Processing . The faculty research mentors involved in the program have an extensive track record in the area of environmentally benign processing. Students and faculty interact with the Kenan Center for the Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in Manufacturing and the NSF Science and Technology Center for Environmentally Responsible Solvents and Processes both located at North Carolina State University. In addition to a traditional research program directed by faculty mentors, professors in the NSF sponsored Research Ethics Initiative at NCSU will conduct an ethics symposium series focused on topics in engineering and environmental ethics.
