项目摘要

The objective of this renewal Summer Academy in Sustainable Manufacturing REU is to expose undergraduate students to the forefront of sustainable manufacturing research at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI, a historical hub of United States manufacturing. The Summer Academy in Sustainable Manufacturing serves a national priority area in advanced manufacturing and sustainability, and offers multi-disciplinary sustainable manufacturing undergraduate research projects. Participants research challenging manufacturing sustainability problems, strengthen communication and networking skills, and are prepared to pursue graduate degrees. Site projects cross-cut materials science, product design, process design, manufacturing systems, and sustainable engineering, and integrate the fundamental approaches of sustainable manufacturing into these areas. The site’s recruitment plan is aimed at attracting a diverse set of students interested in undergraduate research, particularly from underrepresented minority groups, in order to create a vibrant sustainable manufacturing research community. The site’s training model, which provides a dynamic environment for student research and broad communication with a diverse faculty team and industrial practitioners, aims to set an example for other sustainability and sustainable manufacturing communities in the nation. Participants develop self-learning, engineering research, and technical communication skills under the supervision of faculty mentors from the Wayne State Industrial and Systems Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments, in addition to participating in community building activities that include visits to the Detroit Institute of Arts and Charles H. Wright African American History Museum.The REU Site research and training activities prepare participants to be the next generation of sustainable manufacturing engineers and researchers, a field that is continuously growing in relevance and necessity to industry and society, yet severely lacking in expertise. Target participants for the Summer Academy are underrepresented minority students who traditionally have little access to undergraduate research opportunities or may not have otherwise considered graduate studies a feasible career pathway. The REU Site fosters long-term contributions to sustainable manufacturing knowledge from continuing mentor/mentee relationships and undergraduate research project outcomes in eco-friendly batteries, sustainable nano-manufacturing, remanufacturing via additive manufacturing, biofuels production systems, and life-cycle cyber-learning, to list a few. During the 10 week summer program, participants of the Summer Academy in Sustainable Manufacturing participate in five research seminars covering critical areas of sustainable manufacturing research, four skill development seminars that prepare participants for research and graduate programs, three site visits to local manufacturing companies (Ford Rouge Factory, BASF polyurethane manufacturing plant, and Lightweight Innovations for Tomorrow, LIFT, institute), and three industry guest lectures that focus on sustainability in large scale manufacturing. Concurrently, participants work in faculty mentor laboratories on next generation sustainable manufacturing research challenges to advance the knowledge of sustainability in manufacturing and experience academic research first-hand.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.

在可持续制造REU这个更新夏季学院的目标是让本科生接触到可持续制造研究的最前沿在韦恩州立大学在底特律，密歇根州，美国制造业的历史中心。可持续制造夏季学院是先进制造和可持续发展的国家优先领域，并提供多学科的可持续制造本科研究项目。参与者研究具有挑战性的制造业可持续发展问题，加强沟通和网络技能，并准备攻读研究生学位。网站项目横切材料科学，产品设计，工艺设计，制造系统和可持续工程，并将可持续制造的基本方法集成到这些领域。该网站的招聘计划旨在吸引对本科研究感兴趣的多元化学生，特别是来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生，以创建一个充满活力的可持续制造研究社区。该网站的培训模式，为学生的研究和广泛的沟通与多元化的教师团队和行业从业者提供了一个动态的环境，旨在为其他可持续发展和可持续制造社区在全国树立榜样。参与者发展自学，工程研究和技术沟通技能的教师导师的监督下，从韦恩国家工业和系统工程，化学工程和材料科学，机械工程，电气和计算机工程部门，除了参加社区建设活动，包括参观底特律艺术学院和查尔斯H。赖特非裔美国人历史博物馆。REU网站的研究和培训活动准备参与者成为下一代可持续制造工程师和研究人员，这是一个不断增长的行业和社会的相关性和必要性，但严重缺乏专业知识的领域。暑期学院的目标参与者是代表性不足的少数族裔学生，他们传统上很少有本科研究机会，或者可能不认为研究生学习是可行的职业途径。REU网站通过持续的导师/学员关系和环保电池，可持续纳米制造，通过增材制造再制造，生物燃料生产系统和生命周期网络学习的本科生研究项目成果，促进对可持续制造知识的长期贡献。在为期10周的暑期课程中，可持续制造夏季学院的参与者参加了五个研究研讨会，涵盖可持续制造研究的关键领域，四个技能发展研讨会，为参与者的研究和研究生课程做好准备，三个实地考察当地制造公司（福特胭脂厂，巴斯夫聚氨酯制造厂，和轻量级创新的明天，LIFT，研究所），和三个行业嘉宾讲座，重点是在大规模制造业的可持续发展。与此同时，参与者在教师指导实验室工作，研究下一代可持续制造的研究挑战，以促进制造业的可持续性知识，并亲身体验学术研究。该奖项反映了NSF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。
