This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant provides funding for the development of a research and education program in environmentally benign design and manufacturing (EBDM). The EBDM research program will be focused on developing environmentally benign metalworking fluid systems. Metalworking fluids (MWFs) are ubiquitous in manufacturing, comprise a major percentage of process costs, and contain significant environmental and health hazards. This funding supports a major new initiative to eliminate these liabilities by researching the relationships between MWF chemistry, machining performance, system economics, and the effectiveness of state of the art MWF re-use technology. These relationships will be researched in four phases: (1) physicochemical characteristics of MWFs will be classified based on their ability to affect machining performance; (2) optimal MWF application rates will be established; (3) the fundamental mechanisms of MWF deterioration will be determined; and (4) the effectiveness of re-use technologies in addressing MWF deterioration mechanisms and health hazards will be modeled. The knowledge generated by these research tasks will be fully integrated into tangible process planning, monitoring, and control technologies that will achieve cost-effective and environmentally benign MWF systems.The educational component of this program will focus on outreach and transfer of EBDM strategies to manufacturing stakeholders. This includes transfer of advanced research in environmental product design and manufacturing, as well as basic education regarding how to achieve simultaneous improvement of economic and environmental performance. The EBDM education program will engage a diversity of stakeholders, including university students, practicing engineers, and governmental providers of technical assistance. At the university level, several original curriculum elements will be developed, including two EBDM courses, two web-based EBDM educational tools, and a modular EBDM sequence for undergraduate design and manufacturing programs. The Environmental and Sustainable Technology Research and Teaching Laboratory (EAST RTL) will be established to facilitate the integration of EBDM research and education, and will be exclusively dedicated to furthering the integration of manufacturing and environmental technologies.

该学院早期职业发展（CAREER）拨款为环境友好设计和制造（EBDM）的研究和教育计划的发展提供资金。 EBDM研究计划将专注于开发环境友好的金属加工液系统。 金属加工液（MWF）在制造业中无处不在，占加工成本的主要百分比，并含有显著的环境和健康危害。 这笔资金支持一项重大的新举措，通过研究MWF化学，加工性能，系统经济性和最先进的MWF再利用技术的有效性之间的关系来消除这些责任。 这些关系将分四个阶段进行研究：（1）MWF的物理化学特性将根据其影响加工性能的能力进行分类;（2）将建立最佳MWF应用率;（3）将确定MWF劣化的基本机制;（4）将对重复使用技术在解决MWF劣化机制和健康危害方面的有效性进行建模。 这些研究任务所产生的知识将被完全整合到有形的工艺规划，监测和控制技术中，以实现成本效益和环境友好的MWF系统。该计划的教育部分将侧重于EBDM战略的推广和转移到制造利益相关者。 这包括转让环境产品设计和制造方面的先进研究，以及关于如何实现经济和环境绩效同时改善的基础教育。 EBDM教育计划将吸引各种利益相关者，包括大学生，执业工程师和政府技术援助提供者。 在大学一级，将开发几个原始的课程元素，包括两个EBDM课程，两个基于网络的EBDM教育工具，以及一个模块化的EBDM序列的本科设计和制造程序。 环境与可持续技术研究和教学实验室（EAST RTL）将建立，以促进EBDM研究和教育的整合，并将专门致力于促进制造和环境技术的整合。
