Shanghai International Workshop on Sustainable Manufacturing - U.S. Delegation, held October 12-15, 2005, Shanghai Jia Tong University

这一研讨会奖是为了支持7名美国教师参加2005年10月12-15日在上海举行的中国可持续制造国际研讨会的国际旅行。讲习班的目的是促进环境无害设计和制造(EBDM)这一新兴领域的知识共享。这一领域在通过再制造机会减少制造过程的环境影响和材料使用的整个生命周期方面具有重大的广泛社会影响。这也具有全球意义，因为亚洲、欧洲和美国的消费需求增加，防止污染的机会在改善资源利用方面具有很大潜力。研讨会将侧重于两个战略领域--如何实现可持续产品和可持续企业。会议将讨论先进和新兴技术、战略和战术系统研究以及特定领域的应用问题。这与设计、制造和创新部以EBDM为推力的计划支持的方向非常吻合。预期成果包括一套关于未来研究活动和潜在国际合作的优先建议，以解决可持续制造的复杂问题。预计这次讲习班还将提供教育机会，包括建立合作项目，包括学生旅行，以及通过全生命周期管理工程设计、企业系统和材料加工的课程模块。

This workshop award is to support international travel for participation of 7 US faculty at the International Workshop on Sustainable Manufacturing to be held in Shanghai, China October 12 - 15, 2005. The purpose of the workshop is to advance the sharing of knowledge in the emerging area of environmentally benign design and manufacturing (EBDM). This area has significant broad societal impact in reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing processes and the total life cycle of materials use through remanufacturing opportunities. This also has global significance as consumption demand increases in Asia, Europe, and the US and the opportunity to prevent pollution has high potential in improving resource use. The workshop will focus on two strategic areas - how to attain sustainable products and sustainable enterprises. Sessions will address advanced and emerging technologies, strategic and tactical systems research, and specific domain applications issues. This fits well with the directions supported by programs in the Division of Design, Manufacture, and Innovation with the EBDM thrust. The expected outcomes include a prioritized set of recommendations on future research activities and potential international collaborations to address the complex issues of Sustainable Manufacturing. It is also expected that educational opportunities will emerge from this workshop, both in establishing collaborative projects including travel for students and in curricular modules for engineering design, enterprise systems, and materials processing through total life-cycle management.
