This award is to support the new international, multidisciplinary conference on Green Engineering to be held May 18 - 22, 2003 in Destin, Florida. Participants will include engineering researchers and practioners from several engineering disciplines and industrial sectors who will meet to benchmark the current status of green engineering and to start defining the Green Engineering principles common across engineering. The focus will be on product and process design within a systems framework, with four themes: 1) What are the drivers for green engineering and how consistent are they across various engineering disciplines? 2) How do we measure progress and evaluate performance? What are the metrics to determine the "greenness" of a product or process? 3) What are the tools that are unique to green engineering? How can they be applied across various disciplines? What are their limitations? 4) What are the connections between the process / product design and improvements to the environment (systems approaches)? It is expected that this activity will have significant broader impacts upon the engineering community as a whole in the provision of a set of guiding principles for Green Engineering and also upon society through the establishment of a basis for the design and realization of products that positively impact materials use and total life cycle

这个奖项是为了支持将于2003年5月18日至22日在佛罗里达州德斯廷举行的新的国际绿色工程多学科会议。与会者将包括来自多个工程学科和工业部门的工程研究人员和实践者，他们将开会讨论绿色工程的现状，并开始定义工程中常见的绿色工程原则。重点将放在系统框架内的产品和工艺设计上，有四个主题：1)绿色工程的驱动因素是什么？它们在不同工程学科中的一致性如何？我们如何衡量进度和评估绩效？确定产品或过程的“绿色”的指标是什么？3)绿色工程独有的工具是什么？如何将它们应用于不同的学科？它们的局限性是什么？过程/产品设计与环境改进（系统方法）之间有什么联系？预计这项活动将对整个工程界产生重大而广泛的影响，为绿色工程提供一套指导原则，并通过建立对材料使用和整个生命周期产生积极影响的产品的设计和实现的基础，对社会产生重大影响
