Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing: Waste Minimizationin Chemical Processes

GER-9554576贝克曼近年来，我们注意到工业BS级工程师、化学家和生物学家对重返学校攻读化学工程博士学位的广泛兴趣。在每一种情况下，母公司都通过获得公司的分析实验室、化学样品和直接的现金捐赠，为工作做出了重大贡献。鉴于我们发现这些非传统学生往往是我们最好的研究生之一，由于他们的干劲、经验和成熟度，我们建议采用头衔研究生奖学金来支持更多这样的学生进行博士研究。我们的经验是，我们的业界同仁对强调最少用水的研究项目非常感兴趣，因此我们认为，利用拟议的废物最小化领域的奖学金来吸引学生重返校园，将会吸引大量的申请者。此外，我们建议与匹兹堡大学制造工程项目合作，在MSEP的远程学习项目中提供污染预防。通过参加MSEP，我们促进了与当地行业的更大互动，并可以发现和招收有兴趣继续进行废物最小化主题博士学位研究的学生。

GER-9554576 Beckman In recent years we have observed extensive interest among industrial BS-level engineers, chemists, and biologists in returning to school to pursue a PhD in chemical engineering. In each of these cases, the parent company has contributed significantly to the work via access to corporate analytical labs, chemical samples, and outright cash gifts. Given that we have found that these non- traditional students are often amongst our best graduate students, due to their drive, experience, and maturity, we propose to employ the title graduate fellowships to support an increased number of such students in PhD research. Our experience is that research programs which emphasize water minimization are of great interest to our industrial colleagues, and thus we feel that use of the proposed fellowships in the area of waste minimization to attract students returning to school form industry will lead to a large number of applicants. Further, we propose to collaborate with the University of Pittsburgh Manufacturing Engineering Program by offering Pollution Prevention over MSEP's distance learning program. By participation in MSEP we foster greater interaction with local industry, and can identify and recruit students with interests in continuing on for the PhD vial research in waste minimization topics.
