NIST-ASTM-NSF-ASME Workshop on Challenges in Representing Manufacturing Processes for Systemic Sustainability Assessments - Student Travel; College Station, Texas; June 18-22, 2018

该奖项为NIST-ASTM-NSF-ASME“系统可持续性评估中代表制造过程的挑战”研讨会提供支持。该基金部分支持美国科学家、博士后研究人员和研究生的旅费和出勤费。研讨会旨在让研究界参与讨论先进制造、纳米制造、可持续制造和工程教育等新兴主题，所有这些都是美国先进制造业可持续发展的组成部分，这是美国经济中一个经久不衰的重要部门。讲习班的一项成果是确定研究和教育的需要，以支持可持续性评价单位制造过程的特征。研究的重点是研究制造过程的系统级可持续性评估模型，以及在各个领域应用的方法。研讨会鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族参与先进制造业研究和教育的讨论，这对国家的繁荣也很重要。它激发了对未来研究方向和职业道路的想法。讲习班成果将作为讲习班报告和同行评议出版物加以记录和传播。该奖项在一定程度上支持研究生、博士后研究员、早期职业教师、女性和代表性不足的少数族裔参加制造过程代表研讨会。研讨会的重点是研究离散、批量和连续方法的单元制造过程建模；对于传统、纳米和增材制造规模。方法论适用于机械、电气、化学、核、生化和生物等领域。可持续发展需要平衡各种相互竞争的目标，如成本、时间、环境和社会因素。这些模型用于系统级可持续性绩效是复杂的，由于不确定的紧急性质。然而，这些模型对于比较产品和生产系统的替代设计至关重要。获取和交换有关制造过程的信息可以导致一致的过程特征，并且可以帮助建立过程模型的统一存储库，以便跨高级制造领域进行重用。改进的过程建模和模型集成确保了计算分析的更有效沟通和可持续性绩效数据的共享。吸引工业和学术研究人员讨论他们的工作，分享最佳实践，揭示研究和实践中的差距对于开发新的研究方向非常重要。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides support for the NIST-ASTM-NSF-ASME Workshop on Challenges in Representing Manufacturing Processes for Systemic Sustainability Assessments. The funding partially supports the travel and attendance costs of US scientists, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. The workshop is designed to engage the research community in discussions on emerging topics in advanced manufacturing, nanomanufacturing, sustainable manufacturing, and engineering education, all of which are integral to sustainability of advanced manufacturing in America, an enduringly important sector in the nation's economy. An outcome of the workshop is to identify needs for research and education in support of characterizing unit manufacturing processes for sustainability assessment. The research focus is to investigate modeling of manufacturing processes for system level sustainability assessment across manufacturing production scales and methods applied in various fields. The workshop encourages participation of women and under-represented minorities in discussions on advanced manufacturing research and education, also important for the nation's prosperity. It stimulates ideas for future directions in research and career paths. Workshop outcomes will be documented and disseminated as a workshop report and peer-reviewed publications.This award partially supports the participation of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, early career faculty, and women and under-represented minorities in a workshop on representations of manufacturing processes. The workshop focuses on research in modeling of unit manufacturing processes for discrete, batch, and continuous methods; and for conventional, nanometer, and additive manufacturing scales. Methodologies are applicable in fields such as mechanical, electrical, chemical, nuclear, biochemical, and biological. Sustainability requires a balance of competing objectives, such as cost, time, and environmental and social considerations. The use of these models for system-level sustainability performance is complicated due to uncertain emergent properties. However, these models are vital to comparing alternative designs of products and production systems. Acquiring and exchanging information on manufacturing processes can lead to consistent process characterization and can help establish a consolidated repository of process models for reuse across advanced manufacturing domains. Improved process modeling and model integration ensures more effective communication of computational analytics and sharing of sustainability performance data. Engaging industrial and academic researchers in discussing their work, sharing best practices, revealing gaps in research and practice is important in developing new research directions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
