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.

该综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖项为研究生研究和教育建立了一种新的综合模式，以实现电子产品全球可持续性的有意义和可衡量的改进。通过普渡大学和塔斯基吉大学之间的合作伙伴关系，可持续电子IGERT将与全球电子行业和学术合作伙伴密切合作。智力优势：IGERT将专注于为电子消费的新模式建立科学基础，避免传统的设计-制造-使用-处置方法：来自商业，社会科学，材料，产品和工艺工程的教师和学生专业知识将聚集在一起重新设想电子消费范式，同时保持对同时造福人类，地球和利润的关注。该IGERT的研究主题是：1）用于制造电子产品的自然聚合物; 2）减少环境足迹的产品设计和制造方法; 3）系统，供应链，企业和消费者行为以及监管框架的作用。学员将在可持续电子的背景下发展其学科的深度和广度，使他们能够成为创新者和社会变革的领导者。该IGERT项目将开发新的跨学科研究生课程，以形成核心的可持续电子课程，建立一个互动的，国际化的，以团队为基础的社区，以打破障碍，解决限制可持续发展的问题，IGERT是一个全国性的项目，旨在应对教育美国博士的挑战。具有跨学科背景的科学家和工程师，在所选学科的深厚知识，以及未来职业需求所需的技术，专业和个人技能。该计划旨在为研究生教育和培训建立新的模式，为超越传统学科界限的合作研究创造肥沃的环境，并让学生了解研究转化为创新以造福社会的过程。
