This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award establishes a new integrative model for graduate research and education to enable meaningful and measurable improvements in the global sustainability of electronic products. Through a partnership between Purdue University and Tuskegee University the Sustainable Electronics-IGERT will be carried out in close collaboration with the global electronics industry and academic partners. Intellectual Merit: The IGERT will focus on establishing the scientific foundation for a new model of consumption for electronics that avoids the traditional design-manufacture-use-dispose approach: faculty and student expertise from business, social sciences, and materials, product, and process engineering will come together to re-envision the electronics consumption paradigm, while maintaining a focus on simultaneously benefiting people, planet, and profit. Research themes addressed by this IGERT are 1) polymers from nature for fabricating electronics; 2) product design and manufacturing approaches with a reduced environmental footprint; and 3) system, supply chain, corporate and consumer behaviors, and the role of regulatory frameworks. Trainees will develop depth in their disciplines as well as breadth in the context of sustainable electronics, enabling them to become innovators and change leaders in society.Broader Impacts: This IGERT project will develop new cross-disciplinary graduate courses to form a core sustainable electronics curriculum, establish an interactive, international, team-based community to break-down barriers to solving problems that limit sustainability, and ensure that each trainee has an integrative international experience with industry or academic partners.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline, and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to establish new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries, and to engage students in understanding the processes by which research is translated to innovations for societal benefit.

这项综合研究生教育和研究训练（IGERT）奖为研究生研究和教育建立了一种新的综合模型，以实现电子产品全球可持续性的有意义和可衡量的改进。通过普渡大学和杜斯基吉大学之间的合作关系，可持续电子产品将与全球电子行业和学术合作伙伴密切合作。 Intellectual Merit: The IGERT will focus on establishing the scientific foundation for a new model of consumption for electronics that avoids the traditional design-manufacture-use-dispose approach: faculty and student expertise from business, social sciences, and materials, product, and process engineering will come together to re-envision the electronics consumption paradigm, while maintaining a focus on simultaneously benefiting people, planet, and profit.该IGERT解决的研究主题是1）来自自然的聚合物用于制造电子产品； 2）产品设计和制造方法的环境足迹减少； 3）系统，供应链，公司和消费者行为以及监管框架的作用。 Trainees will develop depth in their disciplines as well as breadth in the context of sustainable electronics, enabling them to become innovators and change leaders in society.Broader Impacts: This IGERT project will develop new cross-disciplinary graduate courses to form a core sustainable electronics curriculum, establish an interactive, international, team-based community to break-down barriers to solving problems that limit sustainability, and ensure that each trainee has an integrative international experience with行业或学术合作伙伴。Igert是一项旨在应对美国博士学位教育的挑战。具有跨学科背景的科学家和工程师，所选学科的深刻知识以及未来职业需求所需的技术，专业和个人技能。该计划旨在在肥沃的环境中建立新的模型，用于超越传统纪律界限的合作研究，并吸引学生理解研究的过程转化为以社会利益的创新过程。
